CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (Reuters) – The murders of 25 people by suspected drug hitmen on the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday was the bloodiest day in almost three years in an area gripped by an escalating drug war, officials said on Friday.
Gunmen burst into several houses in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, and shot people accused of working for rival drug gangs, a spokesman for the Chihuahua state attorney general's office said on Friday morning.
Four bystanders were also killed on Thursday as a convoy of hitmen shot its way out of traffic in Ciudad Juarez, local newspaper El Diario said

Unfortunately theres enough ex-military and ex-special operations personnel on the cartels payroll for them to be trained and competant at close quarter operations.

Juarez is, for all intents and purposes, a war zone. Poverty, fear, bribery and corruption, traitors, suspected traitors, it's just one big friggin mess.
Mad Max scenario on crack!
