Mexico’s Drug War by Tim Noonan, Yahoo 7 News, Australia, video report.
It is a city ruled by drugs and weapons where money talks, and lives are worth nothing. Juarez, Mexico, is the murder capital of the world. On a good day there are just a handful of killings. On a bad day, there are as many as twenty.
The city is run by some of the world’s most powerful drug lords, and they will kill anyone who gets in their way.
In this exclusive report, Tim Noonan goes undercover for his most dangerous assignment yet, to investigate the masterminds behind this evil trade. And as he discovers they are already expanding their empire here in Australia.
Note by Dr. Robert Bunker: The Australian TV news segment is 12:45 minutes long. It is a well-done and interesting production. Brad Barker, the president of the HALO Corporation (private security company) is interviewed. The female reporter at the start provides factual errors concerning a) value of the illicit narcotics market for the Mexican cartels - should be billions (low tens of) not trillions and c) overstates the distribution importance of the Ciudad Juarez plaza.
