Hitmen kill 10 youths in Mexico's drug-hit north

Yep the latest B.S. from the Cartels is to Kill Kids ! Though some of the teenagers are informants for the Cartels And they can make about 100 to 200 (U.S.) for ratting out an opposing Cartel member !
But the real young ones that is just insane !
And how much closer is the Mexican Government to stopping this ? THEY AREN'T .



(Reuters) - Suspected drug hitmen killed a carload of children and teenagers in northern Mexico in the latest of a rash of attacks on minors that have angered the public as drug gang violence spins out of control.

Ten youngsters aged from eight to 21 died on Sunday when gunmen opened fire and lobbed explosives at their pick-up truck after it sped through an improvised roadblock on an isolated highway in Durango state, in Mexico's "Golden Triangle" drug-producing region, the attorney general's office in Durango said.

Mexico's drug cartels are growing ever more brazen, and a spate of brutal attacks in recent weeks, including the murder of two Americans, are worrying Mexicans along with tourists, foreign investors and the United States, which sent a high-level delegation to Mexico City last week.

Mexican soldiers on Monday captured a suspect linked to the fatal shooting this month of an American employee of the U.S. consulate in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, her U.S. husband and the Mexican husband of a fellow consulate worker.

Interior Minister Fernando Gomez Mont said on Monday the rampant violence only showed the importance of keeping up the pressure with the government's army-led assault on drug traffickers. He waved off the idea of backing down.

"If some people think that events like those of the weekend where criminals slay youngsters in this cowardly way, if faced with these events Mexico is going to back off, they are mistaken," Gomez Mont told a news conference.
