Even More Examples Of Mexican Drug Atrocities

Rogelio Sanchez Jimenez, the kidnapped head of the department of motor vehicles in the northern Mexican state of Baja California was found dead last month, his mutilated body left hanging from a bridge in Tijuana.

Sanchez’s head was wrapped in adhesive tape, with his severed genitals stuck in his mouth, Efe confirmed at the scene. He had been kidnapped while driving with his daughters. Armed men in an SUV rammed Sanchez’s vehicle and then grabbed him when he stopped the car and got out.

Authorities in the southern state of Guerrero also discovered last month the bodies of 10 men who were all apparently killed by a single criminal organization identifying itself as “El jefe de jefes” (The Chief of Chiefs).

A total of six victims were found in Chilpancingo, the state capital, while the other four turned up at various spots in and around the Pacific resort town of Acapulco. All of the men were bound and gagged and each had been killed by a shot to the back of the head. One group of bodies was accompanied by a sign reading, “this will happen to all the kidnapping and extorting rats,” signed by “El jefe de jefes.”
