Mexican Drug Cartel
Threatens To Kill Guatemalan President
Mexico City - A Mexican drug cartel
threatened to kill Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom, Guatemalan
strategic Intelligence Secretariat (SAE) said Sunday.
The emergency phone number 110 from the National Civil Police on
Saturday received three phone calls expressing death threats against
Colom, according to information reaching here from Guatemala City.
The phone calls were believed to be made by the hit squad of drug
cartel "Los Zetas."
At least 10 members of Los Zetas have been captured recently after
Colom's government vowed to take firm actions against the drug
cartel.
Manuel de Jesus Galeano, SAE chief from the Guatemalan Presidency,
said that measures have been taken to reinforce Colom's security in
response to these threats.
Blanco said threats streamed in weeks ago. Guatemalan Interior
Minister Salvador Gandara has also received death threats.
The hit squad of the cartel "Los Zetas" is the most violent and
dangerous group of organized crime in Mexico.
