THE BORDER REPORT

UPDATE: The family reports the boat passengers have returned safely to shore.

Just got word from a Chandler family this morning; seven Phoenix area residents may have disappeared in the Sea of Cortez around Cholla Bay. I'm passing on some information to the State Department and the Mexican Navy but any of you other folks out there who have some tips on who else to talk to, please drop me a line, 520-820-8525 and we'll go from there.

Army Raids Caborca

THE BORDER REPORT

El Imparcial is reporting that the Mexican military has raided 25 homes in Caborca since 700 troops arrived Wednesday evening. They attribute all the properties to the Beltrán Leyva family, one of whose members, Alfredo Beltrán, was arrested in Culiacán, last Monday. So far, the most interesting item found was a 50-cal. machine gun. If you recall, last autumn, someone in the area shot down a Mexican military plane with a 50-cal. And Caborca is an old story when we talk about narco-trafficking. Recall that the Caro Quintero family, the Guadalajara Cartel that killed DEA agent Kiki Camarena, are all from Caborca. Check in a little later. If some people are correct, today should be an interesting day.

Someone Shoot Down an Army Plane in Sonora?

THE BORDER REPORT

Over the past two years, the Sonoran government and the Mexican Army have had an uncomfortable relationship, at best studiously ignoring each other. But the seizure of 22 tons of marijuana in the past week in northern Sonora may signal the beginning of an agreement between the two entities. I'm wondering if the crash of an airplane in Caborca two weeks ago didn't prompt the harsh response from the Army. I have some reason to believe, both from sources familiar with the investigation and my own speculation, that the plane was shot down.
