Gangs specialize in murder - UPI.com: "The Barrio Azteca gang have been dealing drugs and stealing cars in El Paso, Texas, but across the border in Mexico the organization now specializes in contract killings, the report said.
The Post said U.S. law enforcement officers believe the gang may have been involved in as many as half of the 2,660 killings in Juarez in the past year.
The Aztecas locate targets, stalk them and finally kill them in ambushes involving multiple chase cars and radio communications by masked gunmen in body armor, who vanish back into safe houses in Juarez or El Paso, the report said.
'Within their business of killing, they have surveillance people, intel people and shooters. They have a degree of specialization,' David Cuthbertson, special agent in charge of the FBI's El Paso division, told the Post. 'They work day in and day out, with a list of people to kill, and they get proficient at it.'
Special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in El Paso, Joseph Arabit, told the newspaper, 'Our intelligence indicates that they kill frequently for a hundred dollars.'"
