News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

The bodies of six alleged members of the Juárez drug cartel were unearthed Friday from a single grave in a residence in Chihuahua City, an official with the Mexican attorney general's office said.

Officials said they received an anonymous tip "that gave the address of a house linked to the Juárez cartel in Chihuahua City and that indicated that there were people buried in a grave there," according to a news release.

Armed with a warrant, federal agents and forensic experts from the organized crime bureau started their search Thursday at 1201 Luz C. Villa street. With the help of cadaver-sniffing dogs and tools, they dug up six corpses. None of the victims was identified, and the causes of death were unknown Friday, officials said.

The beginning of the year has been especially violent in Juárez -- 26 homicides in the first 15 days, many of which appear to be drug-related executions. No suspect has been arrested in any of the cases.
