Shootouts in Reynosa; grenades, narco banners in Ciudad Victoria

Despite regular assurances by Tamaulipas state officials that
violence is down, two grenade attacks, a chase and a firefight were
reported in the state capital of Ciudad Victoria on Friday, while
several shootouts were reported in Reynosa.

Sources outside law enforcement with direct knowledge said the
Reynosa clashes stemmed from Gulf Cartel infighting.

THE BORDER
In Reynosa, the first clashes were reported Friday shortly after 8
p.m. along Hidalgo and Del Maestro boulevards. Groups of gunmen
clashed and chased each other, said a Mexican law enforcement
official. Soon after, the Mexican military responded to various
areas, searching for and clashing with the gunmen. Clashes were
reported in various neighborhoods, including Narciso Mendoza,
Campanario and Balcones. Casualty reports were not readily available
for Reynosa.

Sources outside law enforcement but with direct knowledge said the
clash in Reynosa is related to the ongoing struggle between the two
factions of the Gulf Cartel. Since September, the Metros, which
control Reynosa, have been trying to eradicate the Rojos, who are
believed to be behind the death of Samuel "Metro 3" Flores Borrego,
the former plaza boss of Reynosa. The struggle has fomented disarray
in the organization that resulted in various loads of narcotics being
stolen from the organization. The Metros — the leading faction —
hired a prison gang in the U.S. to carry out a recovery operation,
which led to a botched abduction and police shooting in late October.
As the shots were exchanged, one alleged kidnapper was killed and an
Hidalgo County sheriff's deputy was wounded.

THE CAPITAL

In Ciudad Victoria, which lies some 200 miles south of McAllen, a
grenade was thrown Friday as a distraction outside the state prison
while an organized crime group hoisted a narco-banner, according to
information released by the Tamaulipas state government. The same
tactic was used shortly thereafter, when another grenade was thrown
outside a casino in the Campestre area, a ritzy part of town. As
authorities moved to remove the banners, they clashed with members of
organized crime, leading to a chase and a shootout. No injuries were
reported in any of the incidents.
