The drug war in Chihuahua intensified Tuesday with the slaying of a town mayor, the fatal shooting of a man with press credentials and double-digit homicides for the second day in a row in Juárez.

Despite the killings, Juárez Mayor José Reyes Ferriz said Joint Operation Chihuahua has not been a failure even if the military has been unable to quell bloodshed that has claimed more than 1,000 lives this year.

Reyes, responding to criticism of the federal anti-crime deployment, said the operation has different phases that won't be complete until October, when the growing police force finishes being trained by the Mexican army.

The violence Tuesday reached out to elected leaders when drug traffickers carried out a threat by killing the mayor of the town of Namiquipa in central Chihuahua.

Hector Mexueiro Muñoz was shot by gunmen hours after a banner on a bridge in Juárez threatened Mexueiro and the Chihuahua state attorney general, claiming they were responsible for the arrest of 25 "paramilitaries" in Nicolas Bravo last month. Federal forces went to the Namiquipa region in an effort to catch the mayor's killers.

A separate banner taunted authorities "not to act stupid," claiming that an unspecified victim was a military intelligence officer. The claim could not be confirmed.

A dozen homicides occurred Monday, and at least 11 killings were tallied as of Tuesday evening, including a man with press credentials.

Also on Tuesday, the body of a man was found in the trunk of a red Ford Focus with Texas plates after residents reported the stench of the decomposing body. The man's head was covered with medical bandages, and his hands were bound behind his back.

In addition, the mutilated bodies of two unidentified men who appeared to have been tortured were found in a Volkswagen Jetta.

I'm wondering just how far Mexico is from a full-tilt civil war?

It can't come soon enough, for me. That damn nation is a total failure down to the very last mangy dog that lives there. It would please me to just let those mexicons eradicate each other and let America turn mexico into a desert hunting preserve.
