Note: Looking like a busy weekend already. Also couple more found
around Sonoyta early this morning. About a mile south of AZ line.
Unrest seems to be spreading north from Sinaloa. With this and some
of the following, does el chapo need to re-pacify the area?
Note: no location on this one, but think it was east of Ajo area.

Vasquez JC
Nogales, Sonora - New Day
fleeing the military to be discovered by members of the National
Defense Secretariat, leaving behind a pickup truck, late model, and
within the unit had tactical gear, military style remote tracking
equipment, solar cells, devices radio communication, marijuana
residue, a weapon Uzzi, .9 mm caliber.
Yesterday, a platoon of military forces, apparently conducting
surveillance runs the El Sasabe and allegedly found in the distance
to several people in military uniforms.
The strangers, seeing that they were real soldiers, allegedly got out
of the pick up left their belongings to run away and get lost in the
distance, said a police spokesman.
After making trips between the mountains of that locality, and by
failing to locate the military type, the soldiers secured the old
truck and the belongings that had to be transferred to the border,
they said.
Apparently, within the unit, Ford, copper, paint very badly treated,
military elements located documents showing that it is a vehicle of
foreign origin.
Up to press time, it is unknown if the vehicle was secured with theft
report, a situation that corresponds to the respective authorities to
investigate, reported.
Uniforms are presumably or is American origin, were similar to
clothing worn by soldiers of the neighboring country.
Note: Looks like someone else figured out too much happening there
lately.

Hundreds of soldiers arrived to join the fight against crime
Hundreds of soldiers arrived yesterday afternoon in this city
presumably to strengthen security in the municipality, following the
violent events in which more than half a dozen people have been
executed with the seal of organized crime in the last hours.
It was about 5 in the afternoon yesterday when military
reinforcements arrived, the 60 Infantry Battalion at the la
Comisaría de Esperanza, about 7 km north of Ciudad Obregon.
The move was in command type vehicles and trucks packed with
soldiers, who crossed from southern populations in several convoys to
headquarters as part of the strategy that keeps the Federal
Government in combating organized crime.
Hundreds of soldiers, who came to military installations to the
desolate landscape of constant killings, resulting from possible
settling of scores in the southern part of the state, which has kept
its people accustomed to the quiet before, now constant uncertainty.
At least half a dozen of crimes related to drug dealing has been in
the past two weeks in the southern part of the state, mainly in
Cajeme, and where most of the dead are young.
It is hoped that the arrival of more soldiers achieve a comprehensive
coordination between the various police forces and together implement
a tactic to control the crime wave that has become entrenched in the
region.
Also, citizens expect to design a series of actions to eradicate the
violence, and that executions between criminals are becoming more
consistent and aggressive.
Bullets have reached their innocent victims that have nothing to do
with the distribution and handling of drugs, including children,
youth, men and women, as happened on Wednesday night Cumuripa sector,
where a storekeeper was injured.
Similarly, around 21:40 pm Thursday, three of four men attacked with
assault rifles known as "goat horn", were killed outside riddled on
the street located between calle 200 and Paris Otancahui .
One survived and recovers over several injuries caused by firearm
projectiles.
Hours before, between Magnolia Street and Cibuta Salvatierra, in the
colony Eusebio Kino, the merchant Yizván Camacho Alberto Aragon, 24,
was killed by two hitmen shot several times after the vehicle left
there used to flee into streets of the colony 410.
