Zetas - Who knows about them?

[Rob Thornton]

First time I heard about them was tonight. A cursory google on the Zetas (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/august2005/140805borderwars.htm) yielded some decent hits.

I think this ties in with our Robb Discussion, but also with the SOF on U.S. soil and a whole host of other SWC threads.

Anybody got an assessment or any experience against this threat?

Hi Rob, I know what Los Zetas is, if that is what you mean. They are supposed to a para-military group Gang of x special forces, DEA trained agents, Spy's and all kinds of stuff like that. They are reported to be working for what is known as the Gulf Cartel. They are a bad ass drug gang that likes to own their ground and is accused of occupying certain areas of Mexico.

Quoting National Police reports, the paper said that at least 17 men who used to belong to the groups of late capos Pablo Escobar and Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha, "the Mexican", have travelled to Mexico this year.


According to the police source, these Colombian hired assassins give classes about security issues, road blocking, attacks from motorcycles and interrogation methods.



This is the same situation Colombia went through in the mid 80s, when Israeli and British mercenaries came to train those who would later be Medellin cartel"s main killers and members of the paramilitary groups, the daily noted.
