Smuggled Women and Guns, Recipe for a Prison Riot
(Of the 24 killed at the prison, 20 were Aztecas and the others Mexicles. Although video tape shows 3 of the guards, and the identity of killers, no arrests have been announced. Just prior to the prison riot, there was an announcement that federal police would be leaving Ciudad Juarez. This was followed by the riot. Chief of Police Leyzaola was attacked by federal police, not the first time, while his caravan was responding to the riot. Per the Mexican media, both the Chief and the Chihuahua state Governor are urging the federal government to reinstate the funding for the city. With the Chief a retired career military officer, reportedly very effective there as well as in his previous position of Chief in Tijuana, the question begs if there is a power struggle going on among the authorities in charge of Ciudad Juarez security.)
