By Michael Webster: Investigative reporter August 1, 2008 24:30 PDT

The Mexican and U.S. Governments are in denial. The dictionary definition of civil war indicates that civil war is a military conflict that arises a desire for usually radical change in society as a result of each of the cultural conflicts, social, religious, political or economic, because the ideas are diametrically opposed and uncompromising leadership, administration and management of population and the territory it occupies, and that was solved by the use of weapons. This seems to describe the current situation in Mexico today that the government makes war against the Mexican drug cartels powerful Mexico.

Only since the beginning of this year 4,000 people were killed in Mexico in that the authorities responsible for Mexican cartels and their criminal gangs and paramilitary forces.

A 11-year old American citizen of El Paso was recently killed in a highway robbery on the road to Durango-Mazatlan, Mexico. The boy, Rico Armando Banuelos was a family trip to Mazatlan when thieves tried to stop the Volkswagen Jetta he was driving near a stretch of mountain road known as "the spine dorsal del Diablo "(devil's spine), El Siglo de Durango newspaper.

The robbers opened fire, killing Rico, when the Jetta accelerated past a roadblock the bandits had created and used to rob bus passengers and another vehicle. Rey del Valle, and Rico's mother, Norma Patricia Chairs were injured.

"U.S. citizens should be aware of the risk posed by the deteriorating security Mexico and along the border, "said a statement issued in Mexico City and Washington." criminal activities, including murder and kidnapping in Mexico has increased. "

New cases of disappearances and kidnapping against ransom, are still reported. No one can be considered immune from kidnapping on the basis of occupation, nationality or other factors. Criminals have been known to follow and harass U.S. citizens traveling in their vehicles, particularly in border areas like Nuevo Laredo, Matamoros, Reynosa, Ciudad Juarez, Mexicali, Tijuana and most all border towns.

23 American Kyle Mosteller Belanger was missing since May and believed to be kidnapped and held against his will for ransom in Juarez, Mexico. This information has been forwarded to the Government Mexico and the FBI and other U.S. agencies no apparent follow-up investigation much less locating arresting and punishing the perpetrators.

U.S. police and helped to facilitate the payment of U.S. $ 32,000 ransom in Mexico for a relative of a U.S. congressman who was kidnapped by men armed in Ciudad Juarez, a border town across from El Paso, Texas.

The kidnapping took place in Mexico not on U.S. soil, but in a country feign. The victim was not yet an American citizen, but the Mexican nationality.

Even a prominent citizen of the United States is removed, the problem will not receive much attention in the media or the public.

Jake Mendoza of El Paso, called the newspaper and asked "How Is this a kidnapping in a feign country of a national semblance studied and solved by law enforcement agencies of the United States, as Americans others who are not connected currently to save some have been kidnapped in U.S. territory and led to a fake country and ransom. While still other Americans have been killed, murdered, wounded and held for ransom Mexico, without any apparent investigation in U.S. law or oversight? How can this be? "

According to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), in a letter to the Department of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, called for an investigation (ICE) recent efforts of Immigration and Customs in the acquisition of the release of a Mexican woman kidnapped in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

The family raised the money, the statement said. On June 21, two men on a motorcycle collected the ransom at a Juarez street corner but the shot off and investigators who had escaped the drop site games.

Mrs. Posselt was released several hours later, the Mexican authorities and quickly transfer to their U.S. counterparts, which led immediately to the United States for "security reasons", according to the note of ICE.

No arrests have been made

The Office of the California woman Libby Gianna Craig was among four people found shot in a canyon near Rosarito Beach in Baja California.
The 28-years was in an area known as Morro Canyon with three African American men, the police Mexican identified as "Black Americans." The first reports also said more bodies were found in a separate place in different points of Playas de Rosarito, reported some Mexican newspapers.

All the shootings were apparently deliberate, targeted, and not just random bystanders caught in the wave of violence that has gripped the Mexican border cities in the United States, Mexican authorities said.

Also recently four Americans were shot as they were leaving the Arriba Chihuahua nightclub in the tourist region PRONAF in Mexican border city of Juarez violence.

The Mexican government has described much of the violence in revenge for President Felipe Punishment Calderon years against organized crime, which sent thousands of soldiers and federal police into violence plagued Mexican cities and towns in Mexico border with the United States.

Mexican President Calderon, while other officials have pledged to break the powerful cartels drugs in the country, earning billions of dollars annually, providing users with the United States.

The State Department said police forces in Mexican border communities communities "suffer from a lack of funding and training, and the judicial system is weak, overloaded and inefficient. "

"I worry that the inability of local police to cope with rising drug warfare, kidnappings and violence in the streets at random, will have a deterrent effect on the cross, tourism and commerce so vital to the prosperity of the region, "Traffickers are armed with AK-47 grenade launchers and bazookas. They have other weapons, vests and jargon of the police for help. In a minute or two, someone pulling a hood over the head of the victim and dragged him into a vehicle. His car left the road – and often better than "the intimidating border police, Sheriff depts., and Mexican security forces.

An alarming number of Americans lost in Mexico, where there has been a dramatic increase the number of citizens of the United States It has been reported missing or kidnapped along the border with Mexico, reports the Washington Post. Many of those who disappeared from U.S. cities are still missing and feared that his time in the mass graves were discovered recently in Mexico.

Government U.S. aid to Mexico under the provisions of the Merida Initiative, a multi amount 1400000000 fight against narcotics package approved by Congress. As indicated earlier this year in the Laguna / El Paso Journal many Americans are wondering when the Bush administration will give the travel warning to its more Travel high alert "to prevent U.S. travelers to Mexico? How many citizens, Americans will be shot, executed or removed before moving the U.S. government to prevent needless deaths and issue the proper high alert travel warning "For Americans

drug wars in Mexico have claimed the lives of over a dozen journalists.

The year Last, the Houston Chronicle reported that "Statistics vary among watchdog groups, but they agree that Mexico has surpassed Colombia, a country plagued by decades of guerrilla and drug violence, the number of journalists killed each year. Seven journalists have been killed in Mexico this year past, according to a tally by the Miami Inter-American Press Association. The organization Reporters Without Borders has recorded nine deaths, and Federation Association of Journalists of Mexico reported 12.

According to the Chronicle, "Many Mexican journalists, especially in Border States into the war have stopped writing about organized crime, and in its war against drugs extends south through the country's journalists have become targets. On 3 May World Press Freedom, the decapitated body of a drug trafficker was born of a newspaper in the city Port of Veracruz. For the local press, the killers left this warning: "For Milo, you will pay. You know, and more heads of damned reporters are going rolling. "The threat was presumed to be directed at Milo Vera, a local columnist." Impunity is, "said Jose Antonio Calcanio, president of the Federation of Mexican Journalists Associations, which represents 137 journalist groups across National. "The government has no interest in resolving some of these cases Calcanio said." It is only when there is a case of foreground as Amado Ramirez, who they claim to act, but forget, and nothing happens. "Two suspects were arrested in the days following the murder of broadcaster but both were released on bail. Many colleagues Ramirez suspicious men were scapegoats. "

Tens of American citizens have been kidnapped or taken hostage or killed by their captors in Mexico and many cases remain unresolved. In addition, new cases of disappearances and kidnapping against ransom continue to be reported.

From Brownsville Texas to San Diego in California and north as Dallas Texas Americans are kidnapped and killed. All this is the proliferation of drug-related violence in northern Mexico, the State Department warned Americans dangers of crossing the border. But there are no Americans to be kidnapped alerts here on American soil and to be adopted and asked for a ransom or even killed.

Mexican cartels through there enforcement of Mexican and American gangs for small American gangs to remove and in some cases murder Americans.

Mexican Cartel Zetas paramilitary Substitutes attacked and slaughtered an American Police in Phoenix, Arizona say the attackers were dressed in black military like combat uniforms of paramilitary groups is very similar to the agreement Mexican known.

Phoenix papers report that 6 Mexicans killed a Phoenix man who was found dead by police in a house with the local neighborhood more than 100 bullets. Among the few that the FBI has reported kidnappings there were 30 U.S. citizens know who were abducted or disappeared, nine were released, two found dead and 13 missing.

The FBI refuses to estimate the number of Americans being kidnapped or killed in Mexico. These reports have the deadline and the authorities believe the real figures are much higher. All 30 were Americans from across the region San Diego only. How many other citizens of the United States there? Nobody seems to know for certain. But there are other border towns such as El Paso.

"The U.S. government hopes that drug violence is just a problem south of the Rio Grande. It is not," said Raymundo Ramos, a defender of human rights in Nuevo Laredo.

It is now believed that many more Americans missing many others from Nuevo Laredo, Matamoros, Reynosa, Ciudad Juarez, Mexicali, Tijuana and other border cities. When asked, the FBI said they have no numbers Other than the 30 reported. However, my source says that the FBI agent in El Paso Josie Figaro was notified at least one episode. And there are others.

The police said that some of these disappearances may be due to a war among Mexican drug cartels vying for control of smuggling routes and ports of entry which are the gateway for millions of dollars in illegal drugs are smuggled north in trucks, cars, boats and trains and cargoes of legitimate goods in common.

U.S. officials say: "We are witnessing anarchy pure and simple along the Mexican border SU. Things are just getting out of hand. "

Historically, violence related to drugs is generally limited to the Mexican side of the border, state media reported. However, this pattern is changing, officials recommended.

Despite the dangers Mexico continues to attract U.S. citizens wishing to visit relatives or buy drugs cheap, discount prescription eyeglasses or dental care or just sightseeing. There is also a draw for young people, who migrate there on weekends for have fun and enjoy the late age of legal drinking age of 18.

Mexico has sent federal police officers and army Mexican personnel to patrol the streets of most cities bordering the U.S. The officers were sent at the request of local authorities, who said that crime was out of control.

"U.S. citizens should be aware of the risks posed by the deteriorating security, "the opinion of the Department of State said that although he refrained from urging For Americans to avoid Mexico. El Paso businessman Jamie Rodriguez center said: "if the same circumstances that currently exist in Mexico existed in any other country in the U.S. State Department advised Americans not even go there. "

The close relationship between two governments, and presidents may actually contribute to the mildness of Mexico by the U.S. government.

In Mexico, another crime against tourists is dangerous, you can be kidnapped in what looks more like a shakedown or robbery of a classic situation of ransom. In what is believed happened to 11 American Rico Armando Banuelos. An FBI official said this apparent burgeoning of a cottage industry of kidnapping against ransom – some of those returned alive had been in captivity for months or even days, after their abductors demanded payments of up to $ 100,000.

American tourists have reported to the police for Mexico driving along main and rural roads at dusk or at night. Roadblocks are set. This can be as sophisticated as a table with nails and pieces of furniture as low-tech as glass or sharp rocks. When your house or a car engine is turned off, a group of armed robbers approached them with guns fired. Often, a truck or van parked on the roadside and started slowly moving toward the scene. The men are often dressed as police in Mexico are beginning to take their goods and effects of gun. Then, in many cases have been reported to carry cash all the victims. Victims report bells placed on their heads are loaded onto trucks or SUV and taken to another place. You may be prompted again for more money. In most cases, not Mexican police report the women are raped and abandoned the victims are tourists away from your vehicle.

There have been few reports of victims of high level, including two women, American academics, who have been killed after being robbed.

Sophisticated Mexican kidnapping groups organized plot, well-funded cells targets of kidnapping and rape in Mexico a growing number of U.S. citizens visiting Mexico.

While the FBI declined to say what the demand for rescue are, or how many times you're paid, agents said money line is rising.

Some of the kidnappings go unreported because people fear retribution, said Eric Drickersen, which oversees the liaison office boundaries of the FBI.

Even the U.S. military has been the group to enter Mexico because of the increased violence. U.S. Military officials say they have stopped issuing passes to soldiers who want to cross the border into Mexico. "If is safe for American soldiers, it is unsafe for other Americans. "Said, John Lutes who was born in the border town of El Paso, Texas, and served in the army.
