The Zetas cartel's boss in Ciudad Victoria, the capital of the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, died in a shootout with army troops, the Defense Secretariat said.
Carlos Alberto Fernandez Hernandez and three associates were killed last Friday, the secretariat said in a statement.
"Mexican army personnel providing public safety support in Tamaulipas were the target of an armed attack by members of an organized crime group" while on a reconnaissance mission in Ciudad Victoria, the secretariat said.
Soldiers responded to the attack "to defend themselves and citizens," engaging in a shootout "in which four attackers died," the secretariat said.
Fernandez had been identified as a personal assistant of Los Zetas leader Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano, coordinating the acquisition of houses, obtaining vehicles and recruiting people for the cartel boss, the secretariat said.
Fernandez had been running the cartel's operations in Ciudad Victoria for just four months, smuggling drugs, staging kidnappings, stealing fuel and running extortion rackets, the Defense Secretariat said.
He was also allegedly involved with Gregorio Villanueva Salas, known as "The Czar of Piracy," in the bombings that targeted media outlets, schools and businesses in Matamoros, a border city in Tamaulipas, in May and June.
Villanueva was arrested by army troops on June 14 in Monterrey, the capital of the northern state of Nuevo Leon, along with three other members of the gang.
Soldiers seized two rifles, two handguns, 811 rounds of ammunition, 35 ammunition clips, a vehicle, 38,000 pesos (about $2,883), $29,000, tactical equipment and communications gear after the shootout.
Lazcano Lazcano deserted from the Mexican army in 1999 and formed Los Zetas with three other soldiers, all members of an elite special operations unit, becoming the armed wing of the Gulf drug cartel.
After several years on the payroll of the Gulf cartel, Los Zetas, considered Mexico's most violent criminal organization, went into the drug business on their own account and now control several lucrative territories.
Tamaulipas and neighboring Nuevo Leon state have been rocked by a wave of violence unleashed by drug traffickers battling for control of smuggling routes into the United States.
The army is carrying out "Operation Northeast" in Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and San Luis Potosi states in an effort to weaken the drug cartels that operate in the region. EFE

halo 4 is coming out!
ReplyDeleteGOOD! You fucking zeta scum bag- don't worry, you won't be alone in hell, there will be plenty more of you inbred idiots to follow!!
ReplyDeletemexican military hip hip horay
ReplyDeleteIn my browser lines cut before end. Am I only one?
ReplyDeleteAs these things continue to happen it is getting easier and easier to believe that there is a division within the zetas between those loyal to Lazca and those loyal to z40
ReplyDeleteI know this has nothing to do with this article. But what happend to M-4?
ReplyDeletepobresito cacheton,,,, NOT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo big loss for the Z's, unfortunately there's always a hundred waiting in the wings to take his place. It's a never ending cycle.
ReplyDeleteEverything ends... EVERYTHING!!! Anything else believed is foolish faith.
DeleteLike they say, the only good Z is a DEAD Z! Rot in Hell!!!
ReplyDeleteGood riddance you piece of excrement.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone think maybe if lazca and morales really are feuding that maybe morales could break away and start his own cartel with a different name? Or would one just kill the other for complete control of Zetas?
ReplyDeleteHaha! This shit reminds me of Star Wars! Master and Apprentice-Apprentice killing his Master to become the main Sith, bad ass!
DeleteGo recon!! Reach out and touch these traitors with extreme prejudice.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Reach and touch them with a .50 cal. AIRBORNE!
Delete@July 17, 2012 9:31 PM let me rephrase the only good cartel member is a dead cartel member. fuck all the cartels or are you a cheerleader for one of them????
ReplyDeleteGood riddance.
ReplyDeleteI wonder about these names I have seen, Z1 and Z3 and so forth and so on, but I have never seen anyone mention Z2..? Could it be becasue no one wants to call a high strung psychotic killer number 2? Too many jokes, number 2 always ended up killing everyone over insults, so they just skipped it? :)
ReplyDeleteThey all sound like car names. I like Z28 chevys.
DeleteNo one gets z2 norz1 because no one.would.never replace the first zeta numbers. Real sicarios like lazca there's a.reason y he still controls all. But that's about it all the have is thugs running around wth ak's n barrets. I do not endorse any cartel. Just statedbc what i have Ben following from different sources.
ReplyDelete@5:45 z-2 has been dead since they came out. he didnt last he was killed wen they were with the golfos
ReplyDeleteIf Z-40 MAKES HIS OWN CARTEL HE WOULD NAME IN CARTEL LAVA CARROS
ReplyDeleteOpinions on who will be killed or caught first anyone? Lazca or Z-40?
ReplyDeleteZ2 = Rogelio González Pizaña, El Kelín. El guey cayo en 2004.
ReplyDeleteFor the person that had a question about Z-2. Z-2 was Rogelio González Pizaña aka El Kelín he was captured on October 2004 at a strip club. Cite: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E04E5D9103DF933A05753C1A9629C8B63
ReplyDeleteThe post on BB is incorrect Lazcano did not form Los Zetas. Osiel Cárdenas Guillén formed Los Zetas, he recruited Arturo Guzman Decena who then recruited other military members. Zetas are named after Decena because his radio code was Z-1. Denoting that he was the highest in rank. Don't look to wikipedia for information because most of the time the information is incorrect and lacks proper citing. Prime example Z-40 was never in the military and he was not an original zeta he was a car washer that rose through the ranks of the CDG, then he joined Los Zetas. Z-40 was too busy getting arrested in Dallas, Texas. Cite: http://www.justice.gov/dea/fugitives/houston/TREVINO-MORALES-miguel.html
Z-2 is not dead he is in jail.
ReplyDeleteJuly 18, 2012 10:32 AM ,
ReplyDeleteHas it right as far as we know.There was a high up snitch who filled a lot of shit in when he was collared,cant remember his snitch name?The three main men and killers,Guzman Decena,González Pizaña,Lazcano,led most of the secret shit and missions to kill people,these 3 were hard core killers.
Guzman Decena,killed by soldiers,González Pizaña,arrested,then Lazcano,thru his own acts of violence and murder and calculation took the helm.Why do you think one of his nicknames is El Verdugo-The Executioner.From here till now,it was Lazcano who started the recruitment of Kaibiles,he is also the guy who oversaw the new revenue streams,bolstered the accounting system that is the backbone of Z,small unit tactics training,the camps,so you see this dude is no fucking joke.He was a main killer in the early days,and now he's on the top,as for him and Trevino Morales,they are tighter than anyone knows.Lazcano is the main man,but Trevino Morales is also competent and fearless.
What training are you talking about, every time they make contact with the mexican military they all die like the dogs they are. Trevino Morales fearless? I'm from Nuevo Laredo and nobody has ever seen him in a shootout. Every time there is a military operative in town he hides like a lady and sends his stupid halcones to die, he stays in his hole for days. Now he is a killer, but everyone he has killed was handcuffed and with no means of defense, howcome he doesn't come into the streets and shoot it out with a Marine officer? Answer is: he is a yellow azz mf.
DeleteWhat's the deal with the Zeta money structure? Is all the wealth and power concentrated within the top two leaders(Lazcano & 40)? Time and time we are fed these lies that the Zetas are getting their asses handed to them! All these "jefes de plazas" and commandantes look broke ass fuck. That must be the Lazcano and 40 strategy to keep feeding the government crash dummies.
ReplyDeletesenior diablo y rey de reys wer hot on his heels.lucky for him the military got to him first
ReplyDelete"What training are you talking about"
ReplyDeleteAll the camps,are they fuckin mirages pendejo,the radio equipment,and networks,kaibiles,Zetaz.All fuckin mirages?All bullshit?
Listen man,i don't give a fuck where you are or who you cheer for,we all know the decent trainin was early,but don't be a smart ass.You know what we mean.If you were Trevino Morales,would you go out in convoy huntin motherfuckers?Course you fuckin wouldn't.Why should he,he got an endless crew to do that shit.You like a little kid,"why doesn't he come out and fight Marine"cause he get fuckin murked thats why,oh fuck this.Go up against authorities your ass gots to die.
Their training is all bullshit, I grew up in los multifamiliares across the old airport and know the area better that you do. Back in 67 I was drafted ( I was born in Chicago) but grew up in Nvo Laredo. So 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971 I hunted Viet Congs in An Khe and Dak To in Viet Nam, I was a Staff Sergeant with the 2nd of the 75th Rangers. I don't cheer for any fucking Cartel, but don't you go praising a bunch of up to no good cheap ass murderers. What camps are you talking about, they ain't got shit. Do you really think that a bunch.of drug addicted halcones with fucking stolen nextel radios really are special forces? They CAN NOT even be called soldiers or combatants, because they don't even belong to an established Army of some country in this world. I knew some really fine combatants, men of honor, American soldiers or our enemies the Viet Cong, fine men defending their countries, following a code of conduct and respecting their rules of engagement, a code of conduct this murderers will never know because they don't and will never have one. Training Camps, yeah sure! Jajajaja!
DeleteKaibiles ain't shit. Training starts and they feed a small dog, 2 month later when they graduate them assholes eat the dog, that's it. You want to talk about tough soldiers and commandos then let's talk about the Honduran Army TESONES (Tropas Especializadas en Operaciones Nocturnas) I have never in my life have seen a bullshit guatemalan kaibil doing halo and haho jumps ( hope you know what I am talking about. Your master la 40 ain't shit! Now you can go and lick his car clean.
DeleteThey had a training camp in Anahuac, Nuevo Leon, it was bigger and better equiped than Fort Bragg, they even had some halcones flying attack helicopters and tomcats they also.had an aircraft carrier based in el laguito.just outside Anahuac, it was bigger that the uss ranger. I saw it.
DeleteJuly 18, 2012 3:17 PM .
ReplyDeleteYeah,you get to be number 2 in the Zetas by being a coward who runs away,grow up son.
He is number 2 because he betrayed all the other sob's and you know that. Have you hear the folk song: EL JUDAS DE LOS ZETAS? You need to grow up boy.
DeleteHe got to the number 2 position by snitching on the other REAL AND ORIGINAL Z's, call the Army and police on them, they got either killed or captured.
Delete"senior diablo y rey de reys wer hot on his heels.lucky for him the military got to him first"

ReplyDelete"They had a training camp in Anahuac, Nuevo Leon"
Hey everyone,look we been telling you they had huge training camps.This guy actually saw it,and was trained in it,he learned how to fly attack helicopters.He said they even had a huge aircraft carrier based in el laguito,and what he failed to mention is that he used to serve as Cuarenta's personal aide de camp.Thats how he knows so much,i know who this guy is posting.He was even Lazcas secret lover,but they got to keep it on the downlow.
July 19, 2012 10:32 AM ,,dude its excepted nowadays.
"They had a training camp in Anahuac, Nuevo Leon, it was bigger and better equiped than Fort Bragg"
ReplyDeleteThis vato who is posting is called El Ardon,thats how he knows so much.People don't believe the Z have huge training camps better equipped and staffed than the US army.Posters on here dont believe a word but this guy knows,he should,he helped set it up,didn't you El Ardon,i hate all cartels,but it is dudes like this poster who get away with being on payroll of crews,and snitchin on all their plans and camps.
I posted it because I was making fun of the sob that said they, the zetas had training camps all over the place, which is not true. The training camp they had was overrun by the state police 5 months ago, it was on the news all over Mexico. If you had some common sense, you would know that the snitch ass halcones can not even fly a kite. As to be Lazcas lover, you better ask the oldest lady in your immediate family, she knows better.
ReplyDeleteWish this sort of report was more frequent.
ReplyDeleteFuck arresting them just blow them to kingdom come!!!
This is just a fat kid who has no business in the game. Really, this guy a leader? 4 months in charge and he is dead, in a shoot out? He sucks and if this is an indicator of what is to come, then Mexico's innocent citizens are screwed. This guy should have been selling gum on the streets or washing cars and he would still suck. These guys are becoming a joke. Instead of getting better at distributing drugs, they screw their own people. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYeah ! This is just a fat kid that had kidnapped and murdered lots of people. If the Armed Forces shot him dead is because he deserved to be shot. He was very aware of the choices he made. Just remember nobody is above the law. Now he has paid for his wrongdoing. There is lots of criminal people in the streets, but there are lots honest law enforcement agents and soldiers that.are willing to risk their lifes to protect the law abiding citizens.
ReplyDeleteJuly 19, 2012 2:14 PM .
ReplyDeleteTo El Ardon,she already told me.How do you think i know about you?The threesomes the three of you had in NL,i aint even tryin to out you,there are many people that know you gay for pay.As to the training camp where you was trained,i dont know whether you should be telling anyone,but,you are very close to Lazca.I didnt know they had an aicrft carrier?By the way how did you get the alaias El Ardon?I know who gave you the name?
that what your old lady called your gay ass, remember?
DeleteEl Ardon,isnt he a hitter in NL?He was supposed to be very close to 40 and Lazca,until Lazca two timed his gay ass.I wonder if Ardon is still in NL,now that he got threw away for a new young buck,he probably been sent to wash cars.El Ardon,sometimes posts on here,he is the one who told us all about the camps Z has all over the place.He now works for El grandes bolas,and is still overseeing new camps.
