Four Americans heading to Mexico found themselves amid a shootout between rival cartels when they were abducted last week and later found on Tuesday — two of them dead. Mexican authorities on Thursday found five men tied up with an apology note, putting blame on the men for abducting the Americans and saying it was “unauthorized†by the cartel. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber breaks it all down with Steve Murphy, the DEA agent who caught notorious trafficker Pablo Escobar.

Bad for Mexican businesses, cartel say
I agree, bad for tourism, messing with the tourist money from coming
Government in Mexico are bent
We don't know they just have expert mechanics. It's the remedies we put together. Yehup.
Despite what people think, there is a code which even criminals go by. It's corrupt agents like Murphy' that have no honor and make up rules as they go.
They know if they mess with americans, it ain't gonna go well with the U.S
bro the cartel apologizing for killing and murdering 5 people but i still can’t get people to pay me back
The cartel never apologizes. So, I believe the US criminal government fabricated the whole thing to invade Mexico in the name of terrorism.
How about an apology for the social damage caused by their products.
Latinos are indigenous with many having sub saharan african negro ancestry
I’m from the Golf of Mexico, Veracruz. My dad is a retired Aeronautical Marine, he always told me to not go to places like Tamaulipas where cartels are around, all Americans love Puerto Vallarta but we in Mexico know that some leaders live in Puerto Vallarta; that being said, cartels do have codes – to not mess with tourists or civilians… but there are times where you might be in the wrong place
At wrong time like the lady that got killed / kidnapped.
Now; with all those caravans crossing our country, now we are getting new “mafia “groups from Salvador, Honduras etc..trying to take control of our cities and those criminals will mess with any Mexican civilians or tourist.
Check that out, the cartel provides swifter and better justice in Mexico than the popo does here in the US. And has more morals than our justice system. I'd be wiling to bet there is less random violence there than here.
I remember when people from Haiti were invited to come to Mexico for jobs and the sundown towns in Mexico were so bad the Haitians had to cross the border to The US before they were flown back to Haiti, well Mexico was killing so many Haitians cause they were not documented, so they got away with murder, and their government allows it and arethe cartel so please dont be fooled their government hires killers and chemicals manufacturers
Cartel did it cause some of them do actually belive that innocent people are not targets. The cartels have been know to protect people in tourist places in Mexico.
Nonsense.
Canadian cartels:
Yes Mexico dont hide corruption but usa does so ur point?
It could have been a set for opposing cartel members and make them look bad
"Look, we are sorry. Please dont drone strike us."
i am sure they wanted to butcher if they were really smuggling drugs for rivals
What if they are like not the 5 guys and just kidnapped mexicans?
They left that note because they know once the us get involved like really involved we lose common since end they dont want mexico to end up like japan. Sad to say it but it's TRUE they get most of the money from here and they people they terrorize.
They only cared because they knew military action by the U.S. might follow if they didnt do damage control for their mess up. Other than that they wouldn't have cared less.
New Era new leaders new mind set,respect it and hope it get better because this is a really really good start.Don’t criticize a good deed for fear it’ll upset the changes and make it worst.
So when did the usa start working with the cartel the cartel need to be abolished removed from the planet
Cartel now hired a P.R. "public relations" firm for crisis management
The cartels don't want the American army to roll up and wipe the cartels out and mess up there money flow so by saying sorry there saying we don't want a war, this was a mistake. My opinion.
I argue that all 5 men whose faces are conveniently covered by their shirts and laid out are already preincarcirated individuals out for this stunt and heading back to jail to avoid the US stepping in to handle govt matters regarding cartel. Who would go to such lengths to cover their faces if eager to throw them out for their disgraceful actions to the cartel. Finger prints!
Our military NEEDS to do something this is ridiculous
Honour among thieves
Well as long as they apologized.
The rules are no innocent people, no harm to visitors and no harm to women.
You're right on the money, no innocent people.
