Severed head hung from bridge in Tijuana, Mexico
nctimes/ap ^ | 1/3/2011

The severed head of a young man was found hanging from a bridge in the Mexican border city of Tijuana on Monday.

The Baja California state attorney general's office said the head belonged to a man between 25 and 30 years old.

It had several bullet wounds and was hung using a metallic ring and a nylon rope. A threatening message was found nearby on the bridge.

Hours earlier, a woman between 30 and 35 years old was found shot to death in another Tijuana neighborhood, also with a threatening message left nearby.

Authorities have blamed recent cartel-style violence in Tijuana on feuding between rivals and loyalists of Teodoro "El Teo" Garcia Simental, an alleged drug lord arrested last January.

Farther east along Mexico's border with the United States, Mexican soldiers on Monday found an unfinished tunnel under a house in the city of Nogales, across from Nogales, Arizona.

The army's 45th Military Zone command said the tunnel was dug about 5 feet (1.5 meters) beneath the surface and stretched almost 100 feet (30 meters), apparently just far enough to reach U.S. territory.

The command said in a statement the tunnel ended abruptly and had probably been intended to move drugs across the border.

The mouth of the tunnel was found in one of the rooms of the house in Mexico, which appeared abandoned. There were no arrests nor were any drugs found at the scene.

As long as they stay on THEIR side, I really don’t care...in fact I’ll cheer these episodes on with enthusiasm. When they come over here though, they need to be shot dead.

I don't know. A look through history will show that cutting off heads and hanging them from things is a long-standing tradition in lots of places (Mexico, Palestine, the slavic peninsula, etc...) I know we've been taught all about the noble native Americans, but some of them tribes was nothing but mean sonsabitches with a stoneage serpent mentality that wouldn't think twice about decapitating someone or peeling the skin from the bottoms of their feet.

What's tragic is we in the 'enlightened' west don't understand such things. We don't appreciate what we're dealing with and a lot of lives are going to be needlessly lost until we remember.

Thankfully, our military is now guarding our Mexican borders against scum like this rather than wasting time guarding other countries’ borders for foreigners.

Oh wait....

Thank you. I pretty much figured that this level of violence was something new.

Now, one more question, what is the drug that the cartels are dealing?

I got a little head in Tijuana once. A quick visit to the base Corpsman took care of things....

Well, if it weren't severed, it wouldn't be a head; it would be a body.

Or to put it another way, "Human head hung from bridge", says the same thing without adding the unneeded word, "severed".

“What’s that in the road, a head?”

No no no no, that’s “What’s that in the road, ahead?”

Used to love to go to Cancun. After going to Nogalas 15 years ago I have no desire to set foot in Mexico ever again.

Obviously he didn’t pay the bribe money to the right group.
