ARTICLE SNIPPET: "VERACRUZ - Two gunmen who worked for the Gulf drug cartel revealed their links with police and reporters in a video taped by a rival group who, after their confession, killed them.
The video, aired Thursday by TV Azteca, shows Jesús Arano Servín and Víctor Pérez confessing their membership in Los Zetas, a group made up largely of Army veterans now employed by the drug syndicate as enforcers.

The bodies of Arano and Pérez were found on Tuesday in this Gulf coast port city.

In the video, five masked and black-garbed men are seen pointing their weapons at the pair.

The two Zetas confessed to the March 17 slaying of the police commander and two subordinates in Boca del Río, a town in Veracruz.

They said Gerardo Monraga was killed because he refused to release the people implicated in a shootout that resulted in the deaths of two top members of Los Zetas.

One of the gunmen confessed on the video to having killed 10 people in Veracruz, having links with the local authorities and police and to supervising about 600 retail drug markets.

They also mentioned several journalists in Veracruz who, they said, gave them money in exchange for "news protection."

They confessed that they killed reporter Roberto Marcos García last November because he revealed connections between police chiefs and the Gulf cartel."
