Drug Gang Hit Men Execute Navy Hero's Family in Mexico
Vermin come in brands other than Muslim.MORE than a dozen hit men burst into a house near Mexico City early today and executed the family members of a Navy sailor who died in last week's battle that killed drug lord Arturo Beltran Leyva. The gunmen killed the mother, sister, and aunt of Melquisedet Angulo Córdova only hours after the sailor was buried with a military honor guard. Two of the sailor's brothers were badly wounded, according to Mexican media reports. President Felipe Calderon had praised the sailor as an example to all Mexicans for his courage during the hours-long battle that killed Beltran Leyva in the central city of Cuernavaca last week. Beltran Leyva headed a drug trafficking organization that sent billions of dollars worth of cocaine and marijuana to the US and was well known for its brutality. The revenge killing underscores a vital failing by Mexico's government in its war on drug gangs: The inability to protect the people who are waging the war from retribution by drug gangs.
