El Imparcial (Hermosillo, Sonora) 4/9/08

The Mexican military reported that operations in the northern area of the state of Sonora has resulted in the average daily seizure of six firearms, four of them being shoulder weapons. 144 of the latter were seized between March 7 and April 8, mainly 7.62X39 mm. rifles and also 53 pistols.

The main areas involved are Nogales, Santa Cruz, Caborca, Cananea, Magdalena, Santa Ana and San Luis.

11,781 rounds of ammo have also been seized as well as over a million pesos, 25.7 tons of marihuana, ten grenades and 271 clips.

Forty-six landing strips and 19 fields of marihuana were also destroyed; these marihuana fields covered an area of 78,920 square meters ( 1 sq. meter = 10.7 sq. ft.)

Various papers around the country also said that "SEDENA" (Mex. Dep't. of Defense) reports that drug cartels are mounting a disinformation campaign accusing the Mex. military of arbitrary and heavy-handed illegal activities to foment public disapproval and dissatisfaction of military operations against organized crime. "SEDENA" added that criminal group elements are even donning military uniforms and setting up fake highway checkpoints where unlawful violence is done to citizens.

Frontera (Tijuana, Baja Calif.) 4/9/08

In Rosarito, a few miles south of Tijuana, three persons were violently kidnapped during violent events just a few hours apart. One of the kidnappings involved an armed home invasion, the other a vehicle chase.

And in Tijuana a man was arrested while driving a tow truck apparently used to steal vehicles. That arrest caused a group of armed thugs to attack Tijuana's "Centenario" police station, against which they fired more than four-hundred shots this morning (Wed.) shortly after 4 a.m., damaging the front of the building, at least four patrol units and a fire truck.

Preliminary reports are that four persons have been arrested in connection with this assault including an active-duty Tijuana city police officer who was with this group of thugs and in civilian clothes.

El Heraldo (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) 4/9/08

A highway control point by the Honduran police detected seven undocumented male aliens in a passenger bus. Two were from Somalia and the other five from Ethiopia. According to an interpreter their destination was the United States.

(note: a number of papers both in Mexico and in Central America carried the pathetic and seemingly endless reports of murders, executions and kidnappings in those countries. They have all been omitted from today's brief report)
