++The Veracruz government
said that it is the responsibility of the Attorney General’s Office to
investigate the explosion of an artifact in a tourist spot that killed a man
and wounded another three people, among them two minors. Veracruz officials confirmed that criminals
inside a moving vehicle who were fleeing from military troops threw an
explosive device on the street near the Veracruz aquarium to create a
distraction and be able to make their escape.
++ Also in Veracruz, the Navy said that four of
its troops are missing… They were apparently kidnapped by organized crime.
++ Authorities arrested Ricardo Benítez Servín,
known as “The Mute”, and accused of being second in command of the Beltrán
Leyva cartel in the Costa Grande region of Guerrero, was arrested in Cancún,
Quintana Roo.
++ The Attorney General’s Office said that the
person who was found hanging from a bridge in Huixquilucan, was murdered on
orders from Óscar Osvaldo García Montoya, know as the “El Compayito”, head of
the Hand with Eyes, and who was captured last week.
++ UNAM President José Narro said that the
National Security law being discussed in the Chamber of Deputies should be
debated together with university academics and professors… He said that up to
now the Presidency has given him no date for the meeting to discuss his
security proposal.
++ Senators hailed security discussions being
renewed between Congress and the Peace with Justice and Dignity Movement led by
poet Javier Sicilia…. But they said they would not bow down to the movement’s
demands…
++ State and municipal debt reached 316 billion
pesos, two billion more than six months ago, according to Finance Secretariat
figures. The PRI denied that state and municipal debt load is exorbitant as the
Finance Secretariat described it… Compared to federal debt, the amount is only
0.72 percent.
++ Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said there
would be no split within the PRD during the electoral process to choose a
presidential candidate.
