The plan of the military trained, however, was not put into practice what they learned against drug trafficking, but, quite the opposite. In 2000 there was a mass defection of jinxes and became a group that quickly dominate the internal security of the drug cartels. So says an investigative report published by The Washington Post. According to the American newspaper, such training would have made in Guatemala Los Zetas put particular attention on kaibiles, "specially trained against insurgent forces" in the country.
it is only tactical capability. Diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks also cite how the armies of Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua have provided weapons to the criminal group in question. Training and jinxes desertion is also recorded in the number 22.168 diplomatic cable, dated August 21, 2009, Mexico City and filtered by WikiLeaks. In the document, the U.S. government admits having trained the jinxes in at least 12 times from 1996 to 2009. Reports also were around 4.952 trained military.
"We can not conclusively reject that possibility," the cable quoted in reference to desertion military forces to the Zetas. In fact, the document hints that America retains the names of trained military that has been compared to mushrooms that has captured the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA, for its acronym in English). "No one has agreed," they explain.
However, the U.S. ambassador in Mexico, Carlos Pascual, citing "additional records" that account for one case: it is Villafana Rogelio Lopez, a lieutenant who retired from elite forces and was recruited by Los Zetas. Lopez was arrested and implicated in a plot to assassinate the Deputy Attorney General of the neighboring country, José Luis Santiago Vasconcelos, in January 2008. "The same report Lopez received indicates that counter-narcotics training at Fort Bragg, but the records do not include the specific date, "says the diplomat.
deserters became entrenched in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, one of the most important distribution centers and transit of cocaine , and extended their networks to Guatemala, particularly in Huehuetenango, Quiche and San Marcos. "The original members trained at least 10 people in the same tactics, and by 2003, Mexican authorities had already identified hundreds of members Los Zetas, death squad known as the most formidable in the history of organized crime in Mexico, " quoted as saying in the newspaper. Facilitate weapons
A classified U.S. secret cable dated June 8, 2009, released by WikiLeaks reveals that clogs weapons came into the hands of drug traffickers, but there have been catches. "In the wake of a shootout between drug agents and Los Zetas, the Embassy has received new information which indicates that elements of the Guatemalan Army are selling military weapons and ammunition to drug traffickers," says the letter sent to Washington.
also quoted: "12 lower-ranking officers were removed from office on suspicion of selling weapons that were to control drug trafficking organizations. The 12 officers have been arrested, were only sent home, while continuing its investigations Military Intelligence. "Analyst Military Intelligence Service of the United States were able to determine with high confidence that many of the confiscated weapons and ammunition came from Guatemalan military stores. The 3.812 5.6 mm ammunition and other used M16 rifles were found in packages with the seal of the Guatemalan military industry, "he continues.
" The involvement of Guatemalan military officers in the sale of weapons to drug dealers, raises suspicions about the skills Guatemalan army to secure its own weapons and ammunition ", describes the document.
Similarly, another U.S. diplomatic cable 2008, published by WikiLeaks, reports that the Honduran army has "lost" several weapons supplied by the U.S. military. During subsequent operations, the arsenal was seized from the hands of Los Zetas. The cable quoted a report from the Defense Intelligence Agency under the title: Honduras: Military Weapons Black Market weapons fuel. The report finds that the serial number of light antitank weapons recovered in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and San Andres Island, Colombia, coincided with the numbers of weapons had been sold prior to Honduras.
also warns that "the gun shops to over the U.S. border states are only a source of weapons used in Mexico. Guatemala's military stockpiles have been illegally leaked to the criminal gang Los Zetas. "Los Zetas is a Mexican criminal organization and drug-related. Over the last decade has been linked with a series of murders in Guatemala; including the narcomatanza of Zacapa, in March 2008 and the recent slaughter in the Finca Los Cocos, in Petén, in which 27 peasants were beheaded.
in the slaughter of Los Cocos, the murderers left a message written in blood and signed, presumably by Z200. Research Mexican authorities link this alias with Flavio Mendez Santiago, Yellow (read: Z200 recruited youths in the country).
