Juarez Peolice Chief Resigned

SAN DIEGO—Tijuana, Mexico, March 2009: Joggers discovered the headless bodies of three men near a bullfight ring. The corpses were also missing their hands, and one its feet. Nearby, authorities found the men's heads, along with a message from drug traffickers calling them "snitches." The area where all the body parts were found is a $10 cab ride from San Diego, Calif.

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, February 2009: Chief of Police Roberto Orduña Cruz stepped down after drug cartel bosses made good on a threat to kill one of his officers every 48 hours until he resigned. Cartel assassins killed six officers before Orduña relented. That brought to about 200 the number of people killed in the month of February in Juarez, just two miles south of El Paso, Texas.
