Cartel Members Gun Down Helicopter in Mexico During Narco Raids
Via TeleSUR
Three Mexican soldiers were killed Friday when members of a drug cartel opened fire on a military helicopter forcing it into an emergency landing. The authorities said that 10 more soldiers were wounded in the incident.
The government announced on May 1 the beginning of Operation Jalisco in the country’s largest state of Jalisco against the New Generation Drug Cartel, which has been expanding its reach in the province in recent months.
“I lament the deaths of the members of the Mexican military in the fulfillment of their duty in Jalisco,” President Enrique Peña Nieto tweeted.
In the state capital of Guadalajara, the cartel group also set several buses and cars on fire, torched banks and gas stations, and blocked roads in at least 20 areas across the city. The governor said that today’s attacks were a result of the announcement of the operation.
Such “narco-blockades” are a common cartel response to the arrest of important members or are used to foil police and military operations.
Luis Carlos Nájera Gutiérrez de Velasco, the state’s attorney general, described the group as the “least vulnerable, least attacked” of the major drug gangs and said the federal government has not been doing enough to help the state.
“Remain calm. If you have any reason to leave your house, don’t go out,” the Jalisco state prosecutor’s office said on Twitter as the country celebrated celebrated the May 1 holiday.
Last month, the same group killed 15 police officers in an ambush that was described as the deadliest since president Peña Nieto took office in 2012.
