[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 872179, member: 12952"] [B]Just an Ordinary Day of Death in Mexico’s War on Drug Traffickers DAVID LUHNOW in Ciudad Juárez NICHOLAS CASEY in Acapulco JOSé DE CóRDOBA in Monterrey[/B] A little past midnight on a recent Friday, Manuel López, a 26-year-old lawyer, accidentally drives his beige Volkswagen Polo into a gun battle between rival drug gangs in the tourist resort of Acapulco. As bullets tear into his car, he hits the brakes and tries to run. He makes it less than a yard before falling dead. Mr. López is the first victim of July 29, a hot summer day much like any other in Mexico’s battle against powerful drug-trafficking gangs. Over the next 24 hours, at least 25 people die across Mexico in murders carrying the hallmarks of drug-gang hits. Among the victims: three policemen, three 15-year-olds, one 14-year-old and a woman so thoroughly tortured that police can’t estimate her age. The day ends in Ciudad Juárez with a 28-year-old woman holding the head of her younger brother as he bleeds to death outside their home. [/QUOTE]
