Former DEA and CIA Operatives: Los Zetas May Attempt To Overthrow Mexican Government in 2012 (Using U.S. Government Weapons)

(MEXICO CITY) - Los Zetas use the Alliance Airport in Ft. Worth, Texas -the same airport where the DEA’s Air Operations Center is located- to fly weapons to Columbus, NM., El Paso, and Laredo, TX. to be later smuggled into Mexico. CIA analysts say the weapons, which are purchased from the U.S. Government according to captured Zeta leader Jesus Enrique Rejon Aguilar, aka. El Mamito, are being stockpiled throughout Mexico for a potential upcoming overthrow of the Mexican government in 2012.

Los Zetas use the border crossings of El Paso-Ciudad Juarez and Palomas-Columbus (both locations along the Texas-Chihuahua border) to supply and stockpile military type weapons, which would give them ability to disrupt the 2012 elections, according to the El Paso Times.

“Many of the weapons have been stored in safe houses. I think Los Zetas are storing them for the upcoming elections of 2012,” said a former CIA pilot who has testified before Congress on drugs and weapons trafficking research.

The report is corroborated with an interview with former director of the DEA in El Paso, who stated that the stockpiles, which include anti-aircraft missiles, are transported from a Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. The consultant added that the criminals set up (phony) companies to buy weapons directly through a State Department program.

The Border Patrol personnel and U.S. intelligence services have recently learned that Los Zetas have been purchasing properties on both sides of the border to store thousands of high-power weapons that were discovered to be part of five or six shipments that left the same airport where the DEA has its air operations center.

The former central intelligence operative and director of the DEA office in El Paso, Texas, and a former CIA pilot, said Los Zetas transported the high-power weapons to El Paso-Ciudad Juarez and the Columbus-Palomas border areas to reinforce their troops for battling other cartels and possibly disrupt the 2012 elections in Mexico, El Paso Times reported yesterday.

“I believe Los Zetas are storing weapons for the election season (2012). They probably want to be included as part of the (new) government, “said the pilot.

“The agency responsible for investigating arms trafficking has just confirmed that Los Zetas have been smuggling weapons through this region, and Laredo, which was new to us,” said a reporter from El Paso Times.

She mentioned grenades, grenade launchers, antiaircraft missiles, body armor, radios, GPS devices, and night vision binoculars, among other items.

She reported that the CIA and DEA sources, as well as other sources, reported that some of the weapons were purchased in Dallas, Texas, and were being sent by plane from a nearby airport in Forth Worth to the Carrillo Fuentes (Juarez) cartel.

“There is an airport over there is called Lions (Alliance –ed.), but the irony,” said[the pilot], “is that there is also a DEA aviation headquarters at the same airport. Who knows how long they have been doing this under the noses of the DEA, because the shipments and the aircraft used by Los Zetas left the same airport,” he added.

Which State Department program sells weapons to phony corporations? Security contractor? Should be pretty straightforward to tie the S/N to the program. Mexico I think would be more than happy to publish S/N of firearms used in crimes that they didn't purchase.

I had heard stories of Cartels buying weapons from Mexican Army personnel which get them from the U.S. I suspect it's not difficult to bribe the base commander or quartermaster. Especially after they kill a few that don't participate. Opposite to the top scenario, I doubt Mexico would let us know the S/N of any weapon that they imported from the U.S. directly to supply their army. I'm betting guns from defectors and bribes are 10 times the problem as guns smuggled from the U.S.
