CARTEL RAMPAGE Shocks Mexico: Police Officers Killed in Brutal Dump Truck Attack
— Two police officers were killed and three more hurt when cartel gunmen slammed a dump truck into a police vehicle in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Authorities arrested Alfredo Martinez Gomez, who they say drove the truck during the deadly assault.
The Cartel Del Noreste, part of the Los Zetas group, has used dump trucks before to make attacks look like accidents. Local news first called it just another crash.
The real target was Luis Angel Penaflor Camey, a top police commander known for fighting back against the cartel. He has survived other assassination attempts by CDN-Los Zetas, including a shooting at a restaurant in May that left both officers and bystanders wounded.
