...moment with his daughter to take a cell-phone call, a gunman shot him repeatedly in the head with a semiautomatic pistol. A witness testified that the triggerman was left-handed--leading investigators to suspect Israel Ibarra, a rogue member of the suburb's élite SWAT unit, police sources say. But before police could arrest Ibarra, he was eliminated by another narco gunman. Like most of the more than 100 other drug-related killings that have occurred in or near Monterrey since Garza's death, the case remains unsolved...

...grim one, made with a mixture of anger and exasperation and a plea for more federal help.

Before 9/11, Blackwater mostly trained swat teams and other specialized law-enforcement officers at its 6,000-acre campus on the edge of the Great Dismal Swamp in North Carolina. With the war on terrorism, however, a new niche business developed. The State Department did not have the internal resources or Marines to protect all of its diplomats and overseas embassies, but Blackwater had access to a deep roster of former special-forces soldiers who, it argued, could do the job. It wasn't long before Prince was offering a broad range of services, from protection by bodyguards to aerial...
