MEXICO: 05 Feb. UPDATE: New N.Laredo Police Chief Assassinated; Warden of Botox Dispensing Prison Axed; Guadalajara Now Suffering Narco Terror Tactics.

LINK CHANGE/ More Details/NYTIMES

  Three new narco terrorist news items:

   Retired army general Manuel Farfan, 55, who became the police chief of the important border city of Nuevo Laredo just a month ago, was assassinated along with two of his bodyguards and an assistant. Two other bodyguards were wounded.
  Farfan had listed 50 extortionists the police would hunt down, posting their pictures around town and promised to fire officers who could not pass polygraphs and other confidence tests.

AND:
The warden and medical director of D.F.'s Santa Martha Acatitla prison were fired after allowing reputed narco "queen" Avila Beltran (pictured), aka Sinaloa's  "Queen of the Pacific," to get Botox treatments there.
     Beltran has been in custody since 2007 on suspicion of conspiracy to traffic drugs, money laundering and organized crime.

 FINALLY:     The escalating violence of the narco terrorist wars descended on Guadalajara.
  Roadblocks were set up there with three torched buses, forcing drivers to abandon trucks and autos which were then used them to block even more roads.
    Recent bridge banners signed by the Milenio narcos warned Jalisco state Gov. Emilio Gonzalez Marquez that “Jalisco could go up in flames” and called on him to “impose order” on the state police.
   Jalisco, with Mexico's second largest city Guadalajara, has been relatively untouched by the drug-related violence that has claimed more than 34,000 lives since December 2006.
