CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - This border town's police chief stepped down Friday after criminal gangs made a chilling demand: Resign or we will kill more
local officials.
Public Safety Secretary Roberto Orduna announced he was leaving his post only hours after gunmen killed a police officer and a jail guard and left
signs on their bodies saying they had fulfilled a promise made Wednesday to slay at least one officer every 48 hours until Orduna quits.
The slayings were a grim sign that criminal gangs are determined to control the police force of the biggest Mexican border city, with a population of
1.3 million people across from El Paso, Texas.woody with a view - 2-20-2009 at 08:27 PM

Nothing wrong with Juarez, as long as you stay on the main drag and get back to El Paso before dark.
