MEXICO CITY – Mexico’s notorious Zetas drug cartel brought victims into a prison it controlled to kill them before dumping their incinerated remains in a river between 2009-2012, authorities said.

The prosecutor’s office in the northern state of Coahuila issued arrest warrants for five suspects in connection with the murders at the Piedras Negras penitentiary, which sits across the U.S. border.

Prosecutors say at least seven people were killed inside the prison. They were burned and their ashes were thrown in a river, authorities said without indicating how the victims were brought in and taken out of the prison.

. . .

The state prosecutor’s office said in a statement on Tuesday that it was searching for “more people who are reported missing and who, according to testimonies, were taken to the prison to be killed.”

2. Who calls the shots?

"The Latin American drug cartels have stretched their tentacles much deeper into our lives than most people believe. It's possible they are calling the shots at all levels of government." - William Colby, former CIA Director, 1995
