The Associated Press: Mexican town's cops quit after colleagues beheaded: "The police chief and all 38 police officers of a northeastern Mexican town have quit following a series of drug cartel attacks, including the decapitation of two of their colleagues.
Soldiers, state and federal police had been deployed to patrol General Teran, a town southwest of the industrial city of Monterrey, along a notorious drug-smuggling route to the U.S. border, said Mayor Ramon Villagomez."

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
