Severed Head Found Outside Mexican Base
A severed head reportedly accompanied by a note of defiance from organized crime gangs was found outside a military barracks in Veracruz state on Saturday.
The head was found in a box outside the army base in Veracruz city, just hours after the government announced it was sending troops to respond to a shooting attack. The box also held a message saying gangs would continue operating despite the presence of troops, Mexico's Reforma newspaper reported.
The victim's body was found shortly afterward on a street in another neighborhood, wrapped in a sheet.
On Friday, assailants killed four bodyguards assigned to protect the children of a state governor who were vacationing in Veracruz. The killings were latest in a wave of violence across Mexico that has also targeted soldiers and police.
The government began sending additional troops to Veracruz after the slaying of guards protecting the children of Mexico State Gov. Enrique Pena, Interior Secretary Francisco Ramirez said.
Victoria Hernandez, spokeswoman for the Veracruz state prosecutor's office said it appears the gunmen mistook the bodyguards' vehicle for that of a rival gang.
Pena, a widower, also blamed the attack on mistaken identity and said he would not use extra security.
'I rule out that it was against family. It was just confusion,' he told reporters in Chalco, outside Mexico City.
Oh like you don’t find severed heads on a regular basis...
I believe they’ve done this before elsewhere in Mexico. Apparently, the drug gangs found the Islamists to be a great role model.
I was always told I would never get “ahead” in life
Just Grand. Our southern nieghbors adopt the way of terrorism
I know there is at least one headless body in a topless bar in New York looking for it!
The Mexican crime problem will end when they send the rest of their criminals to the US.
if i post my opinion i will get banned....
An American executive took a job over there [in Africa], and on his very first day, the newspaper headlines read: "Three Headless Bodies Found".
The next day: "Three Heads Found".
The third day: "Heads Don’t Match Bodies".
What do you mean when? (joking) I thought most of them were already here. I assume when you say “the rest of their criminals” we are talking about the 10% that havent already invaded our country.
I remember seeing stats that show a very high population of Mexican gangs in U.S. jails. Maybe we provide better food.
I believe this probably puts Mexico ahead of Iraq for beheadings. They are only second to Iraq in deaths of journalists.
