A military contingent was ordered Monday to protect Villa Ahumada, a town in northern Mexico where last weekend alleged members of organized crime massacred three civilians, three policemen and seven other uniformed officers that fled without taking news of them.
“The security is in the hands of the army and police ministerial (state) and will be indefinitely until security is restored in the population.” the spokesman for the secretariat of public security of the state of Chihuahua, Marco Antonio Moreno, told the Associated Press.
Of the 20 policemen from the village, 10 resigned on Saturday before about 70 men armed with assault rifles entered the village near the U.S. border and killed the police commander Jorge Estrada and two more uniformed officers. The seven remaining fled.”*
