Severed head hung from bridge in Tijuana, Mexico

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.

Wonder if “Severed Heads” from Mexico will be covered under Janet NaziPolitano’s latest Open Borders Agreement with Mexico?

Messico’s stone age cannibal culture is returning.

Soon, to be in your neighborhood, thanks to border decisions in which the Supreme Court’s “Wise Latina Female” will no doubt not recuse itself.

The “severed head” thing, in Me-hee-co, has been quite overdone. The Cartels really need a new calling card.

I don't know. It seems to be pretty graphic and effective, to me, and they have lots of alternative methods...

I agree, it's graphic and likely effective.

There were 818 homicides in TJ during 2010. That's more than even L.A. and an increase over 2009.

As a San Diegan, it's not very comforting to know this is what's only 20 or 30 minutes to the south. This extreme drug crime, replicated in other border cities like Cuidad Juarez which saw 3,111 drug killings in 2010, is why open borders fools in gov't and the racist reconquistas are terrorizing and more a threat to American lives than a jihadist in an Afghan cave.

It's unthinkable in spirit but more probable each year that the cartels will push north and their criminal enterprise will spill across the border and throughout the American southwest.

If the message read Ayo Ghorkhali, those Mes'kins are in for some trouble....

Big Sis says everything’s o-k. Why won’t she resign???? I’m afraid it will take a big assault on our country before she gets the boot.
