Mexican Assassins Headed to Arizona, U.S. Warned

The headline should read: Mexican Assassins Headed to Arizona, and the current U.S. Administration Plans to do NOTHING (except take another vacation).

jimmy carter is laughing his ass off, I'm betting he's happier than a pig in shite that he's no longer holding the "worst" president spot.

Mexican Assassins Headed to Arizona, U.S. Warned
By The Washington Times
Published October 16, 2010
| FoxNews.com
Drug smuggling gangs in Mexico have sent well-armed assassins, or "sicarios," into Arizona to locate and kill bandits who are ambushing and stealing loads of cocaine, marijuana and heroin headed to buyers in the United States, the Department of Homeland Security has warned Arizona law enforcement authorities.

In a memo sent in May and widely circulated since, the department said: "We just received information from a proven credible confidential source who reported that a meeting was held in Puerto Penasco in which every smuggling organization who utilizes the Vekol Valley was told to attend. This included rival groups within the Guzman cartel."

Joaquín Archivaldo Guzman Loera heads what formally is known as the Sinaloa Cartel, which smuggles multi-ton loads of cocaine from Colombia through Mexico to the United States. One of the most powerful and dangerous drug gangs in Mexico, it also is known as the Guzman cartel, which has been tied to the production, smuggling and distribution of Mexican marijuana and heroin and has established transshipment outlets in the United States.

The Vekol Valley is a widely traveled drug smuggling corridor running across Interstate 8 between the Arizona towns of Casa Grande and Gila Bend, continuing north towards Phoenix. It gives drug smugglers the option of shipping their goods to California or to major cities both north and east.

The Homeland Security memo said a group of "15, very well equipped and armed sicarios complete with bullet proof vests" had been sent into the valley. It said the assassins would be disguised as "groups of 'simulated backpackers' carrying empty boxes covered with burlap into the Vekol Valley to draw out the bandits." Once identified, the memo said, "the sicarios will take out the bandits."

Interesting little dirt airstrip about 3 miles north of the 8 and west of the Vekol Valley wash.

PSM, Isn't there some acreage ~ 1/2 mile SW of that strip for sale?

Maybe it would make for a nice shooting range.

How far away is "Table Top" from the strip?
We drive by there twice a month. There's plenty of acreage available.

Unfortunately, your shooting range will shoot back.

T.T. is south of the 8. Several good OPs available. Truckers have been warned not to stop between CG and GB.

I updated the post after your response and before I found the strip.

Also, I recall the East Valley Astronomy Club are in the wash sometime during the year.

Should be interesting.
