Dear Colleague,

Narco News correspondent Bill Conroy reports that Ciudad Juarez earned the reputation as the most dangerous city in the world as its murder rate ramped up exponentially between 2008 and 2011, with some 10,000 murders attributed to a "cartel" turf war being wage in the Mexican border community of some 1.2 million just south of El Paso, Texas.

Conroy reports:

"However, a trail of email correspondence involving a Mexican diplomat, dubbed MX1, obtained by the secret-spilling organization WikiLeaks seems to show that not all of the bloodshed in Juarez is attributable solely to sparring drug organizations — the narrative pushed by the US mainstream media.

"… MX1, in one of the emails released by WikiLeaks, describes the Mexican military's mission in Juarez as involving a special-operations and intelligence-unit component that was embedded within the larger Mexican military force. These special units were charged with carrying out `surgical strikes' against narco-trafficking `cells' and `third war' [gang and drug-addict] criminals.

"Stripped of the military jargon, these special strike forces sound very much like death squads."
