| Tijuana Cartel threatens newspaper owner for ties with El Aquiles. Posted: 22 May 2015 11:00 PM PDT Borderland Beat
Yesterday, at about 8:00 PM, local authorities received a call alerting them about gun shots being heard in the Maestros neighborhood, in the southern part of the city. The officers who attended the report found a 31 year old man named Omar Miramontes Gonzalez. Miramontes Gonzalez received two gun shots in the shoulder and was left there by his attackers. A large banner was also found in which alleged members of the organized crime wrote the following message: "QUE? EMILIO VALENCIA DEL PERIODICO EL MEXICANO Tampoco vas a publicar esta noticia ??????? poco lo que te… a tu compadre AQUILES vas a salir del hoyo sigues tu saca todas las bajas de esas lacrotas para que miren su gente ATT CTNG PRESENTE". Roughly translated into: "What? Emilio Valencia from the newspaper El Mexicano, you are not going to publish this either? Too little what they....your friend AQUILES you´ll get out of your hole, you are next, publish all the casualties of those fuckers so they can see their people, Sincerely CTNG" Even though the victim is reported as stable, investigative agents have not taken his statement yet regarding the menacing message in the banner, which makes reference to the media outlet and the last name of the owners, led by Eligio Valencia Roque, even thou two of his sons share the same name and last name with him. The oldest, Emilio Valencia Alonso, head of the El Mexicano Daily, and the youngest, Eligio Valencia, making rounds in the local politics, first as a deputy council member in Rosarito, followed by a stint as District Director of Rosarito´s Zona Centro District and now running as deputy candidate for Federal Congress in the following June 7th election. Since the beginning of the current wave of crimes, this is the first time members of Organized Crime mention a media outlet in their messages. The shots, the injured man, and the placement of the banner by criminals threatening newspaper El Mexicano and its owners took place 5 hours after two suspects executed Public Ministry Agent Omar Fernando Vasquez Hidalgo aka "La Barbie", who had previously been arrested and set free after being charged with ties to the Arellano Felix Cartel.
Soon after the execution of Vasquez Hidalgo, authorities and news reporters found in social networks pictures of Vasquez Hidalgo with members of the Valencia Roque family and another person with the name of Ivan Villegas, who they believe is the guy mentioned in the banner left this past May 13th along two human heads in the back of the MacroPlaza shopping mall. The banner threattened retail leaders and read: "INCLUYENDO AL PERIODISTA IVAN VILLEGAS AL Q LE PAGAN PARA QUE NO SALGAN LAS BAJAS ATT. LOS VERDADEROS DUEÑOS DE LA PLAZA, EL CAF SIGUE MANDANDO" Roughly translated as: "Including reporter Ivan Villegas, who gets paid for not reporting their casualties Sincerely The real owners of the plaza, CAF keeps ruling" Regarding the banner mentioning the last name of the news outlet owners, neither the authorities have given a public version nor the newspaper has issued a statement.

| 43 Dead: After 10 Hours the government account of CJNG vs Federal Police Tanhuato Clash Posted: 22 May 2015 11:58 PM PDT Lucio R material from Michoacan 3.0, Reforma  After nearly 10 hours without making an official statement about what happened in the town of Tanhuato, Michoacán; the national commissioner for security, Monte Alejandro Rubido, said 42 alleged criminals were killed in the conflict. At a press conference, Rubido reported the alleged offenders initiated the attack, during which, only one federal police officer was killed He also clarified that the shooting occurred against a cell of Jalisco Cartel New Generation. The feds were dispatched to the property following a complaint of their invasion of the ranch in Tanhuato. (That story seems off, to send that many elements after a complaint is unusual, countless properties and groves have been taken from rightful owners who often do not receive help from authorities) When approaching the ranch, gunmen in a vehicle opened fire when they observed the presence of the federal forces. "With that, began a pursuit until the vehicle entered the property.
Noting the presence of federal forces, the remaining suspects that had inhabited the property, began shooting," he said. The ranch has an area of 112 hectares and consists of a main house, a winery and large agricultural areas in which the attackers dispersed, complicating action, so the confrontation lasted nearly three hours after the criminals retreated throughout the property" he noted. The Commissioner said that forensic authorities continue their proceedings, so that the figures should be considered "preliminary". The "preliminary" seized are n 36 rifles, a grenade launcher, 2 handguns and 50-caliber Barret, and various cartridges. Video below is in Spanish but has images and footage from the scene. | ||||

Cal and grenade launchers) Although authorities have not released official figures on the number of dead and wounded in the clash that occurred Friday morning in Tanhuato, Michoacán, unofficially speaking of between 15 and 43 dead. Around 9:30 this morning a Federal Police convoy was attacked along the toll road leading from D.F. to Guadalajara. This morning a shootout between members of the Federal Police and suspected members of CJNG was recorded on 371 km leading to Tinaja de Vargas on Ecuandureo-Tanhuato road. Early reports spoke of two dead and one injured federal police, but through social networks citizens have reported that the figure is between 15 and 43 people, including civilians and members of the Federal Police.   The arrest of five suspects is also reported, while the number of wounded is unknown. Tanhuato is within the limits of JalMich (Michoacán and Jalisco). Sources in the Interior Ministry, said that at 16:00 will be a press conference to give details. Tanhuato Mayor, Jose Ignacio Cuevas Perez said in an interview with Radio Formula that elements of the Federal Police arrived at the Tinaja de Vargas community, when they were allegedly attacked and fired upon by civilians. Efe reports the FP were there to serve arrest warrants on organized crime members.
 Pepe's report: CJNG - 40+ Killed in Narco/PF Clash on Mich./Jalisco BorderWhat supposedly happened: "It was around 8:30 in the morning, when, according to the latest reports, Federal Police saw a  At that moment, the federal police ordered the convoy to stop, and the convoy opened fire, which led to a 30 minute gun battle. Immediately after this, elements of the Mexican Army, Federal Police and Fuerza Cuidadana entered Rancho El Sol, where they encountered another group of heavily armed civilians." As we saw in the first post, this Ranch was apparently burned to the ground. In fotos and videos you can see the smoke from the fire off the main highway. Needless to say, a very imbalanced casualty figure. We might be looking at more "extra-judicial" killings by Mexican security forces.    |
