DRUG CARTELS IN MEXICO KILLING STREET DEALERS
TIJUANA, Mexico -- Drug dealer Hector Rodriguez Estrada had a feeling
he was next.
His boss was beaten to death and dumped in an empty lot, his teeth and
fingers missing. Then one of Rodriguez's underlings turned up in a
soccer field, his head next to his body.
Rodriguez, 30, knew his enemies could only get him if he was asleep or
high. But the thought made the longtime addict, who sold
methamphetamine in his eastern Tijuana neighborhood, more jittery than
usual.
