“An alleged plot by a Mexican drug cartel to blow up a dam along the Texas border — and unleash billions of gallons of water into a region with millions of civilians — sent American police, federal agents and disaster officials secretly scrambling last month to thwart such an attack, authorities confirmed Wednesday.
Whether or not the cartel, which is known to have stolen bulk quantities of gunpowder and dynamite, could have taken down the 5-mile-long Falcon Dam may never be known since the attack never came to pass.
It may have been derailed by a stepped-up presence by the Mexican military, which was acting in part on intelligence from the U.S. government, sources said.
The warning, which swung officials into action, was based on what the federal government contends were ‘serious and reliable sources’ and prompted the Department of Homeland Security to sound the alarm to first responders along the South Texas-Mexico border.”
I have started research on the Mexican Drug Cartels and the drug war on the U.S. border and it’s scarry. For those familiar with this topic I am sure you know that over 23k people have been killed since 2006 when Mexican President Felipe Calderone took office. I think the real war that we have to be worried about is the one right at our door step on the U.S. Border with Mexico.
