SOUNDBITE (Spanish) General Oscar Naranajo, chief of Colombian National Police: "Today we are carrying out the extradition of Diego Montoya Sanchez to the United States, and conclude a process that marks the end of a tragic story, a story involving the lives of many Colombians murdered by this cartel." 7. Convoy of cars bringing Diego Montoya to where DEA aircraft is waiting STORYLINE Colombia on Friday extradited one of its most notorious drug lords to the United States, sending Diego Montoya to face trial on drug trafficking, money laundering and murder charges. When elite commandos captured him in September 2007 at a remote farmhouse, the man known as "Don Diego" was on the FBI's list of ten most wanted fugitives, the last senior figure still at large from a major Colombian cartel. Montoya's departure for Miami in a DEA (US Drug Enforcement Administration) plane closes the chapter of the government's offensive to dismantle the Norte del Valle cartel, said national police chief General Oscar Naranjo. The Norte del Valle cartel was the successor to the Medellin and Cali cartels. It's the end of "a tragic story, a story involving the lives of many Colombians murdered by this cartel," Naranjo said. Colombia's cocaine trade is now splintered among far smaller groups and most of the profits - and competition-related violence - have shifted to Mexican cartels. At the time of his capture, Montoya headed a private army of several hundred gunmen. He had remained a fugitive for years by paying off military and police officials. Montoya, 47, was indicted in two US courts - southern Florida and the District of Columbia. He sent tons of cocaine to the United States and is responsible for at least 1,500 killings in a two-decade career, Colombian officials say. Montoya, who boarded the DEA Super King turboprop plane wearing jeans, sneakers and a dark jacket under a bulletproof vest, began his criminal career as a cocaine lab "chef," working his way up through transport, export and money-laundering, authorities said.

It's believed the dead are victims of local cartels - and it's now thought 22 of them were U-S citizens. Clinton added the find reinforces his determination to protect America's borders and his commitment to working with Mexican authorities to stamp out the drug trade. Mexican authorities and America's F-B-I have launched a joint investigation following the discovery of more than a hundred bodies at two sites on the Mexican border. On Monday, dozens of Mexican soldiers, some wearing black ski masks, surrounded at least one of the ranches, in a desolate area about 10 miles south of Ciudad Juarez. White iron gates towered in front of the ranch, while a concrete block wall, covered with graffiti, surrounded the rest of the property, located across the street from a junk yard. Topping the concrete wall was a chain-link fence with razor wire. No bodies were seen being carried out, but several soldiers left the ranch carrying duffel bags. No one at the scene would talk to reporters and a news conference scheduled for Monday night in Ciudad Juarez was cancelled. Mexico's attorney general says he's compiled a list of more than a thousand people who could possibly be among those buried at the two sites, both ranches in the area around Ciudad Juarez. It's not clear when the bodies were first discovered. Across the border in El Paso, FBI agents and forensic experts have been gathering to assist in the operation. It's believed that up to 200 agents and specialists have been committed to the mission. Exhumations are expected to begin on Tuesday. All the dead are believed to have been murdered in violence linked to drug cartels based in the area. SHOTLIST: XFA Juarez, Mexico/El Paso, Texas 29 November 1999 Juarez, Mexico 1.

Mexican authorities think about 100 people -- including 22 Americans -- may be buried on two ranches near the Texas border. It's believed that the dead were all victims of a drug cartel, but there's no indication that any of the bodies have been exhumed. On Monday, dozens of Mexican soldiers, some wearing black ski masks, surrounded at least one of the ranches, in a desolate area about 16 kilometres south of Ciudad Juarez. White iron gates towered in front of the ranch, while a concrete block wall, covered with graffiti, surrounded the rest of the property, located across the street from a junk yard. Topping the concrete wall was a chain-link fence with razor wire. No bodies were seen being carried out, but several soldiers left the ranch carrying duffel bags. A federal law enforcement official in Washington says authorities were led to the ranches by an informant who first approached the F-B-I early this year. The informant said the graves could contain scores of bodies -- including some people who had been providing information to U-S drug agents. Mexican officials believe the killings were done by the Juarez drug cartel. In Washington President Clinton blamed the killings on the drug cartels. SOUNDBITE: (English) "It is a horrible example, apparently, of the excesses of the drug dealing cartels in Mexico. And I think it reinforces the imperative of ours, not only trying to protect our border, but working with the Mexican authorities, to try to combat these." SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, U.S. President Clinton said the find renewed his determination to protect America's borders and his commitment to working with Mexican authorities to destroy the drug trade.

Various of web site with a "wanted sign" for Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Televisa Mexico City - 26 May 2005 9. Various aerials of federal convoy transporting Guzman's son to prison STORYLINE Mexican President Vicente Fox said on Friday that a rash of killings in the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa was partly a response to the successes Mexican authorities have had in fighting crime. Fox said that some 40-thousand people have been put in jail over the past four years and this has caused a rise in violence due to the reorganisation of the drug cartels. More than 260 people have been killed this year in Sinaloa, the majority under circumstances suggesting the involvement of organised crime, according to the Sinaloa state attorney general's office. The state is home to the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel. On Tuesday, Sinaloa authorities discovered four bullet-pocked bodies in a roadside grave two days after the victims were kidnapped from the town of Costa Rica, 25 kilometres (15 miles) south of the state capital, Culiacan. Federal authorities say a bloody turf battle is underway in northern Mexico as the Sinaloa cartel, allegedly led by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman in alliance with Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, jockeys for territory with Mexico's Gulf and Tijuana drug cartels. Much of that battle is focused along the US-Mexico border, prompting the US government recently to warn travellers to be alert in the region. On Friday Attorney General Daniel Cabeza de Vaca said that Guzman has launched a bloody offensive to control drug smuggling along the entire Mexico-US border. His comments came a day after Guzman's son, Ivan Archivaldo Guzman Salazar, was transferred to a maximum-security penitentiary west of the capital amid reports of a planned attempt to break him out of jail. Guzman Salazar is awaiting trial on money laundering charges.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - MARCH 19: Mexican Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero revealed the prosecution's first report Wednesday on a mass burial site found in western Mexico, believed to have been operated as a mass murder and training center by a drug cartel. The horrors at the "Izaguirre" ranch in Teuchitlan were uncovered March 5 by a group of searchers and organizations dedicated to looking for missing people in Mexico. Searchers found the remains of an unknown number of victims, hundreds of personal belongings and what appears to be incinerators used to burn the bodies of the victims of the cartel. Searchers, journalists and human rights defenders have suspected the 10,000-square meter (2.5 acre) area was used by the New Generation Jalisco Cartel as a safe house where abduction victims were forcibly tortured to join the ranks of the cartel. There are 200 people suspected to have been murdered at the site. Manero criticized the investigation that state authorities from Jalisco have carried out since the discovery of the ranch.
