| 2010-04-26 |
| Two members of rival Mexican gangs were killed in a running gunfight which included Mexican Federal Police. In an historical sector of Apan one armed group, said to be "Zetas" intercepted a Jeep Grand Cherokee with license plates from the state of Michoacãn said to be members of "the Family." In the ensuing gunfight, one member of "the Family" was killed and another were wounded. The wounded man was taken to a hospital in Sahagãn City. The rival gang, presumably the "Zetas", broke into the hospital ward and attempted to execute the wounded, but they were intercepted by the Federales. Shots were exchanged. The gang then fled towards Tulancingo via the federal highway Mexico-Tuxpan pursued by federal agents. The pursuit ended in the town of Santo Tomãs, municipality of Zempoala, where the Federales exchanged of gunfire. One gang member died and another was wounded. The Federales seized the Grand Cherokee and a Chevrolet, as well as large-caliber weapons and ammunition. In the crime scenes in Apan and Sahagãn City remain under police and military control and lockdown as of Sunday April 25th. |

| #4 But in this case, it is only a matter of time before they start stockpiling military weapons, even armored vehicles. MS-13 have come across the border wearing body armor, with night vision equipment and by report a few 50 cal weapons. That was a few years ago. The Zetas are known to have used grenade launchers, 50 cals, kevlar body armor, helicopters and reportedly wiretapping equipment too. I'd say we're already there. |

| #2 It may have created them, but now they have become full time banditos of the old school. Villistas. But in this case, it is only a matter of time before they start stockpiling military weapons, even armored vehicles. |

| #1 Still calling them gangs instead of insurgents? Our stupid drug laws created the money to make these people. |
