Mexican security officials leading the investigation into the mass murder of nine Mormons in Sonora
say the victims were likely mistaken for a rival cartel convoy.

They also believe the Juarez Cartel–not the Sinaloa Cartel–is now to blame.

On Monday, a group of cartel gunmen shot and killed three women and six children
as they were driving in the mountainous region between the Mexican border states of Sonora and Chihuahua,
just south of the New Mexico boot heel.
Authorities revealed they collected more than 200 rounds of spent .223 ammunition casings at the scene of the attack.

During a press conference on Wednesday morning, Mexican Army General Homero Mendoza said that earlier in the day of the incident,
gunmen from the Sinaloa Cartel faction "Gente Nueva de Los Los Salazar" clashed with rivals from "La Linea,"
the enforcement wing of the Juarez Cartel, based in the border state of Chihuahua.

The clashes took place in Agua Prieta, Sonora, when authorities received information on various skirmishes between
La Linea and Los Salazar shortly after 3:15am local time.
Three hours later, authorities responded to another incident at a funeral home in Agua Prieta.

After attacking the Sinaloa Cartel turf, La Linea took a series of defensive measures to keep rivals from entering Chihuahua for payback,
Mendoza said in reference to a working theory on the case.
"[La Linea] placed a cell between the towns of Janos and Bavispe in the border of both states (Sonora and Chihuahua).
It is assumed they sent it to stop any penetration by Los Salazar
and it is assumed that this group is the one that took part in the aggression against the LeBaron family," the general added.

The working theory is that since members of the LeBaron family were moving in four large SUVs,
gunmen mistook them for a rival convoy, the general said.
"The types of vehicles they used,
Suburbans, are commonly used by organized crime members moving along the mountain region," Mendoza said.

On Tuesday afternoon, Chihuahua Attorney General Cesar Augusto Peniche claimed the likely suspects
were the "Jaguares" cell within the Sinaloa Cartel since they control Agua Prieta.
He said the Jaguares were at odds with La Linea and Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG).

Mexican President AMLO on Cartels: 'War Not an Option'
This article was sourced from Breitbart


In the aftermath of a cartel massacre that killed nine Americans driving through the mountainous region south of the New Mexico border,
Mexico's president said that going to "war" with cartels is not an option.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) made the statement on Wednesday morning during his daily press conference.
The comment comes at a time when pressure continues to mount over the perception that Mexico has gone soft on security issues.
"War is the most irrational thing there can be and that is not going to be an option," Lopez Obrador said.
( Corrupt idiot or bought off ? )


The follows soon after a group of cartel gunmen presumably with "La Linea" faction of the Juarez Cartel murdered
three women and six children while injuring six others. One day after the massacre,
President Donald Trump reached out to AMLO initially via Twitter to offer any needed resources for "war" against cartels.

@realDonaldTrump
This is the time for Mexico, with the help of the United States, to wage WAR on the drug cartels
and wipe them off the face of the earth. We merely await a call from your great new president!

"He offered help and he stated that he will be ready to any call for help from us in that matter," Lopez Obrador said,
"I thanked him for his interest in participating in this issue and I thanked him for being respectful of our sovereignty."

Going to war was tried in the past and it only brought more violence and death, Lopez Obrador argued.
In regard to criticism from U.S. politicians and pundits, AMLO said he respects their vision, but he does not share it.


"We are taking a different approach. That approach was tried for 36 years and it failed," Lopez Obrador said.
"We are going to prove that our approach works."
