It's interesting that is was the US Department of Justice who published the photos- even tough there are no warrants for their arrest stateside.

NO ONE in Mexico dared print the photo of Mr Teo, no one. They still haven't.

Under the current circumstances, would you?

The ones associated with Mr. Teo, the 3 pictures on the bottom right, look the most sinister. The rest look like normal, middle class baja californians.

Of course, the one in the middle with the dark glasses looks plain dangerous. :coolup:

You don't want to see any.

And if I did I would forget about it...immediately.

IMHO- Middle class mexicans don't even own a suit and tie. It's easy to forget just how poor most mexicans really and truly are. In baja and the boirder areas the lines are fuzzy- but it's the "juniors" who have the nice clothes, cars, and bling-bling- the middle class here fixes your car and drives a beater- if anything.

Here is an interesting google map that shows where all of the problems occured.

I would not want to be the one that posted them here especially if I lived in T. J.:light:

They STILL haven't posted them- they just put it online.

Until Mexico comes up with a plan and enough worthy men to carry out the solution- there's no point making the problem any worse by ticking them off.

They just threw a grenade into a Monterey newsroom to shut down the media from reporting who they are and what they do.

Where is that noble grouop of Mexcans called La Raza when you need them... :lol::lol:

DEA identifies ringleaders of Tijuana violence

BajaNews - 1-10-2009 at 01:56 PM

Associated Press
January 8, 2009

San Diego, CA (AP) -- The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on Thursday published a poster of 10 men it believes are locked in violent battle for drug trafficking routes through Tijuana, Mexico.

The poster shows rare photos of Fernando Sanchez Arellano, identified as the leader of the Arellano Felix cartel, and Eduardo Teodoro Garcia Simental, identified as his archrival. The DEA had not published photos of either one, though Garcia appears unnamed as No. 27 on an FBI Web site: http://www.narctip.com

The DEA said six are lieutenants of Arellano, also known as "El Ingeniero," or "The Engineer." Two are identified as underlings to Garcia, known as "El Teo," which is short for Teodoro.

The DEA said it was "seeking information regarding the drug trafficking and money laundering activities for the individuals featured on this poster." None have been charged with a crime in the United States.

Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, is the birthplace of the Arellano Felix cartel, which rose to power in 1980s. Since 2002, four brothers have been killed or arrested, most recently Eduardo Arellano Felix, who was captured in October in his Tijuana home.

Little is publicly known about Sanchez or Garcia, though their names have appeared frequently in news reports over the last year amid a bloodbath of mutilated bodies, beheadings and dumped corpses.

Tijuana recorded 843 killings last year, up from 337 a year earlier. The bodies of four decapitated bodies found in a vacant Tijuana lot this week were identified as 17-year-old boys Thursday by the Baja California state attorney general's office.

Sanchez and Garcia are "engaged in a power struggle for control of the Tijuana/Baja (California) drug trafficking corridor," the DEA said in a statement.

Sanchez is about 34 or 35 years old and a nephew of the founding brothers, said Eileen Zeidler, a DEA spokeswoman. In the photo he appears boyish, with an open-collar shirt, a closely shaven head and a faint grin.

Garcia is believed to be in his 30s and is a former lieutenant of the cartel, Zeidler said. The photo shows him with combed-back hair, a slight mustache and a tight-fitting shirt.

The two men split in April after a shootout between their followers in Tijuana left at least 14 people dead, according to U.S. and Mexican officials.
