  • Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
  • Template:Ping Thank you for the thorough review! Mexico is underrepresented on Wikipedia. I knew about this particular incident for years since it happened in my hometown, but I was suprised it didn't have an article. In my opinion, this is one of the major organized crime events in Mexico prior to the drug war. Had the agents been killed, I'm sure we'd have an article a long time ago (like Kiki's).

  • Yeah, with such detail covering this event in the news it is quite surprising we didn't have this a long time ago. It's a very interesting read.--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 14:33, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
