El Financiero (Mexico City), El Porvenir (Monterrey, Nuevo Leon) 1/29/08

1. In Linares, Nuevo Leon, some 100 Mex. army personnel - with the assistance of two military aircraft circling above - went to Roble St. # 2106, arrested four kidnappers believed to be "Zetas" and on the floor of a bedroom found four men still alive, all of them handcuffed and with their legs also tied; they were blindfolded and had been tortured. When untied, some had difficulty walking.
Also found in the house: eight "high power" rifles, six grenades - four fragmentation and two gas - , "more than" 4,000 rounds of ammunition of various calibers, 47 clips for AR15, 26 clips for AK47, 25 other clips, plus vests, cellular phones and vehicles.
A small altar with the image of "Saint Death" had been placed on a counter in the kitchen; it had floral decorations and bits of food offerings.

2. In Reynosa, Tamaulipas, a blindfolded body with bullet impacts brought to three the tally of executed in the last 24 hours.

El Diario de Coahuila (Saltillo, Coahuila) 1/29/08

In Torreon, Coahuila, an ex-member of the Coahuila State's Attorney General's office was shot and killed as he left his home. The unidentified killers used "heavy caliber" weapons and fled.

Milenio (Mexico City) 1/29/08

Two human remains were found in a "clandestine grave" at Estacion Corral, Cajeme, 274 kms. south of Hermosillo. A human skull had two "firearm orifices". Other unusual items: some pieces of low denomination Mexican peso bills, blindfolds, clothing, tape and "the teeth of a young man."

El Debate (Culiacan Sinaloa) 1/29/08

1.   Three judges have received death threats from organized crime sources in the state of Nuevo Leon. This comes just a week after judge Ernesto Palacios Lopez was murdered in San Nicolas Garza, a suburb of Monterrey.
The announcement came from the President of the State's Superior Court, who said that those three judges are presently dealing with drug trafficking cases and that measures have been taken to enhance their personal security.

2.   Three Tijuana Police Department officers, including the head of the Patrol Unit, the sub-chief of the Otay District and a third one whose title was not released, were all three disarmed, arrested by federal agents and taken to the Federal Public Security Dep't. to "give fuller testimony." All three had previously flunked recent polygraph exams. (note: this item also from Frontera, (Tijuana, Baja Calif.) 1/29/098)
(note: All this involves recurring references to a presumably on-going investigation about an armored-truck robbery last month in which some Tijuana police may have participated.)

3.   Three marihuana drying and processing locales were identified near El Tecomate, Navolato, Sonora. The weed in one of them was ready to be packaged. Total weight: 1,900 kilos. No persons were arrested and the Mex. military incinerated the weed.
