"US teens shot dead in violent Mexican city" by Associated Press / February 9, 2011

EL PASO — Two of three teens shot to death at a car dealership in Mexico last weekend had crossed the border from Texas for a party in Ciudad Juarez, one of the most dangerous cities in the world, then stayed overnight to shop for a used car, friends in El Paso said yesterday....

"US immigration agent killed in Mexico" by Associated Press / February 16, 2011

MEXICO CITY — A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was killed and another wounded while driving through northern Mexico yesterday, in a rare attack on American officials in a country fighting powerful drug cartels.... 

The two agents were driving in the northern state of San Luis Potosi when they were stopped at what appeared to be a military checkpoint, said one Mexican official. After they stopped, someone opened fire on them, the official said.

Though Mexico is seeing record rates of violence from warring drug cartels and a crackdown on organized crime, it is rare for US officials to be attacked. The US government, however, has become increasingly concerned about the safety of its employees in Mexico amid the escalating violence.

And thus the New World Order agenda of control must be further implemented so $ecurity $ervices can continue to receive more funds and bank$ can continue to launder money.
