- Story Text: Mexico's army presented on Saturday (August 29) three members of the notorious Linea Cartel suspected of carrying out more than 200 killings throughout Ciudad Juarez.
Authorities arrested Omar "Ali" Castro, Edgar "El Pumba" Flores and Cristian Enrique Franco who allegedly carried out 16 murders.
The arrest of the three suspects helped authorities confirm the existence of two organized crime cells operating in Ciudad Juarez.
The suspects are accused of carrying out a murder as recent as Thursday when a businessman was gunned down after taking his son to school. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
