Mormons killed in Mexico, arrested a suspect: he was with two hostages bound and gagged

He was with two hostages bound and gagged in the area of ​​the hills of Agua Priests, in the State of Sonora the man arrested by the Mexican police because he was suspected of being in the attack against a group of Mormons in which nine people died, including six children. The CNN reports the news quoting the Mexican authorities. The identity of the person arrested is not known, but the Ministerial Agency for Criminal Investigations (Amic) has announced that there were two hostages at the time of capture. Survivors of the barrage of bullets and the fire in which the others were killed who, on three cars, traveled together with other family members near the US border, between the states of Chihuahua and Sonora.

The group of American Mormons with dual citizenship were the target of an ambush carried out in broad daylight. Perhaps mistakenly targeted, mistaken for one of the many convoys of armed gangs that infest the area. The torturers would in fact be armed men almost certainly belonging to one of the powerful drug cartels active in the region. Among the victims also two twins of just six months left tied to their seats, trapped in the car set on fire with their mother, 11-year-old brother and 9's sister. While in another car a child was killed 6-year-old, 4-year-old sister and two other women. One of the children, according to the survivors, he would have been ruthlessly mowed as he ran in an attempt to escape. While another five or six kids would have managed to escape the murderous fury by hiding among the woodland vegetation. But the reconstruction of what happened is still brief, while it is feared that the massacre of the massacre may become heavier.

The wrath of Donald Trump, who has always denounced the ferocity of drug cartels to justify the construction of the wall, was not long in coming. And the American president on Twitter said he was ready to help Mexico by sending forces from the US that could solve the problem of criminal gangs, he wrote, in a "quick and effective" manner. "This is the time for Mexico with the help of the United States to declare war on cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth," said Trump. The Mexican president, Andres Lopez Obrador, He thanked. But he stressed that the fight against cartels is the responsibility of his country: "Mexico is ready to work with the FBI as long as its independence is respected, and I don't think we will need foreign intervention," Obrador explained. And US federal agents are at work to help Mexican colleagues in the investigation. When it was tried last month to arrest one of the children of El Chapo, at least 400 armed men took control of the city of Culiacan, forcing Mexican government forces to retreat. And last month, as many as 14 policemen were killed in an ambush in the same area
