The government of Tamaulipas, Mexico, was pressured into issuing warnings about widespread cartel use of landmines and explosive devices after initially attempting to conceal the issue. The warnings followed reports by Breitbart Texas of two separate incidents where government vehicles and a farmer's tractor detonated on landmines planted by Gulf Cartel gunmen.
After trying to hide information, the government of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas was forced to issue a series of warnings about the widespread use of cartel land mines and explosive devices in the northern part of the state. The warnings followed initial reporting by Breitbart Texas of a government vehicle striking a makeshift landmine near the state’s border with the U.S.
The spokesman for security issues in Tamaulipas, Jorge Cuellar, continued to minimize and, at times, deny most of the violent incidents. These include large-scale shootouts, kidnappings, targeted killings, and forced disappearances, taking place throughout the state, Breitbart Texas, for over a year, two factions of the Gulf Cartel have been waging a fierce turf war for control of lucrative drug and human smuggling routes.
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to Mexico City and the states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used.
