ReplyDeleteMilenio.com reported that the shootings started because the military captured "El Lazca's" right hand man, which apparently was in charge of the Z, in Tamps, NL, and coahila... And they started the shooting in an attempt to free him. They hadn't released the name of the captured for "safety reason"
ReplyDeleteThe shootouts were the result of an operation carried out by the Mexican Government--Operation Scorpion--to capture 'La Rana,' the alleged leader of the Zetas of all of Northeast Mexico, including Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas. They were successful.

BALACERA EN SALTILLO POR INTENTO DE RESCATE DE LÍDER ZETA
ReplyDeleteMILENIO Ciudad de México • El Ejército mexicano capturó al principal operador de Los Zetas en los estados de Tamaulipas, Nuevo León y Coahuila, y hombre de confianza del máximo líder de la organización criminal Heriberto Lazcano, El Lazca, lo que desató las balaceras de este día en Saltillo por parte de sicarios que intentaron rescatarlo.
La Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (Sedena) se reservó por el momento el nombre del sospechoso, quien fue detenido durante la denominada Operación Escorpión, instrumentada para afectar de manera contundente a los cárteles del narcotráfico. En un comunicado señaló que “por la afectación que representa esta captura a la organización delictiva, los integrantes de sus células, intentaron distraer la atención de las tropas del Ejército mexicano mediante agresiones armadas a las fuerzas de seguridad en diversos puntos de la ciudad, para llevar a cabo un posible rescate, sin éxito”.
