PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Mexico – More than 130 inmates, many facing federal charges, have escaped through a 4 foot wide tunnel from a prison in a city in northern Mexico less than two miles away from the U.S. border.
The jailbreak has set off a massive search by police and soldiers in an area close to the U.S. border.
Authorities in Coahuila state said the 132 inmates fled the prison in Piedras Negras, a city across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas, through a tunnel that was 21 feet long and 4 feet in diameter, then cut their way through a chain link barrier and escaped onto a neighboring property.
Coahuila Attorney General Homero Ramos Gloria said the director and two other employees of the state prison have been detained for an investigation into the escape and are being questioned about possible involvement by authorities at the penitentiary. The prison houses about 730 inmates and the escape represented almost a fifth of its population.
The tunnel "was not made today. It had been there for months," Ramos told the Milenio TV station. "The prison was not overcrowded, none of our prisons are. We have 132 inmates escaping through a tunnel, and it doesn't make sense."
Authorities say they also found ropes and electric cables they believe were used in the break.

SHARK (HELPS Save Mans LIFE) Pacific Ocean
A man who survived while adrift in the Pacific for 106 days is crediting a shark for helping to save his life.
Toakai Teitoi, 41, a policeman from the Central Pacific island nation of Kiribati, had been traveling with his brother-in-law on what was supposed to be a short voyage, beginning May 27, from the Kiribati capital of Tarawa to his home island of Maiana.
But the mariners decided to fish along the way, and fell asleep during the night. When they awoke they were far at sea and adrift in their 15-foot wooden vessel. They soon ran out of fuel, and were short on water.
"We had food, but the problem was we had nothing to drink," Teitoi told Agence France-Presse news service.
Dehydration was severe. Falaile, the 52-year-old brother-in-law, died on July 4. That night, Teitoi slept next to him, "like at a funeral," before an emotional burial at sea the next morning.
Teitoi shared scant details of the ordeal after arriving in Majuro, in the Marshall Islands, on Saturday. He said he prayed the night Falaile died, and the next day a storm arrived and, over the next several days, he was able to fill two five-gallon containers with fresh water.
Days and weeks passed, however, and Teitoi, a father of six, did not know whether he'd live or die. He subsisted mostly on fish and protected himself against the searing tropical sun by curling up in a small, covered portion of the bow.
It was on the afternoon of Sept. 11 that he awoke to the sound of scratching against his boat. A six-foot shark was circling the boat and, Teitoi said, bumping against its hull.
"He was guiding me to a fishing boat," Teitoi said. "I looked up and there was the stern of a ship and I could see crew with binoculars looking at me."
The first thing he asked for after he was plucked from the water was a cigarette, or "a smoke." He was given food and juice and his rescuers continued to fish for several days before delivering him to Majuro.
Teitoi, who seemed in good health, said he booked flights back to his home island, adding, "I'll never go by boat again."
The record for drifting at sea is believed to be held by two fishermen, also from Kiribati, who were at sea for 177 days before coming ashore in Samoa in 1992.

MEXICO (RAPIST) Kidnapped -Tortured-Castrated-and Crucified
Kidnapped, Tortured, Castrated, and Crucified

This is my first post on the big screen. Big deal, some of you are saying. Me too, really. I wanted to start with an antojito just to get my feet wet. So bear with me. New technology and all. I thank all my friends back there with me in the forum, PincheG, DD, SiskioK, Guero7, Chimera, Milo, J, Armchair, Primus, Baggy, off the top of my head, on and on we could go, but especially I appreciate Chivis and AJ for always being smart, informative, humorous, and protective. Amigos. Buggs too. Now, I'll run back to the cover of the forum. Mostly this story is just another example of impunity that is so blatant and rampant in Mexico lately.
The victim was identified as Eladio Martínez Cruz and according to the police report he was tortured, castrated and assassinated before he was crucified.
Martínez Cruz had his arms outstretched and tied to a wooden stake of nearly three meters long, which in turn hung in tangled loop of rope encircling the metal post road sign.
In addition to being impaled on a sign, Eladio Martinez Cruz was stuck with two icepicks, imbedded and holding a placard to his chest with the message, "This happened to me for committing rape. This is going to happen to you gossips, jokers, finger pointers. Know it this is no game." Martinez Cruz had a criminal complaint against him for rape which was apparently committed against a women who he attacked with a knife this past September 3rd.
According to various versions in the media, the subject was detained and taken by the municipal police for a health check when he was kidnapped by a group of armed men. Days after, he was found and appeared assassinated. The finding was first reported to the Municipal Police Contepec, Michoacán then the Attorney General of the State (PGJE).

MEXICO ( NINE bodies HANGING from bridge) Nuevo Laredo
Nine Bodies Found Hanging from Bridge in Nuevo Laredo
On that occasion, suspected members of the Los Zetas drug cartel said in a message that the victims were members of the rival Gulf mob who were killed for “heating up the plaza (drug-smuggling route)” and attracting the attention of the security forces with their attacks.
The Zetas have threatened to wipe out the Gulf organization, which has allied itself with the powerful Sinaloa gang – headed by Joaquin “El Chapo” (Shorty) Guzman – in a bid to seize control of the city, located across the border from Laredo, Texas.

The bodies of nine men were found hanging from a bridge Friday in Nuevo Laredo, a border city in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, officials said.
“The individuals were hung (early Friday) from a bridge at the intersection of Colosio Blvd. and the highway leading to Monterrey,” capital of the neighboring state of Nuevo Leon, a security spokesman in Nuevo Laredo said.
The bodies bore signs of torture and the suspected perpetrators of the crime left a message whose content was not disclosed.
Prior to the discovery of the bodies, an armed commando had dragged several people from a bar and later set the establishment on fire. Investigators are trying to determine if those victims were the same people hung from the bridge.
In May, the bodies of five men and four women who were blindfolded and bore signs of torture were found hanging from another Nuevo Laredo bridge.
On that occasion, suspected members of the Los Zetas drug cartel said in a message that the victims were members of the rival Gulf mob who were killed for “heating up the plaza (drug-smuggling route)” and attracting the attention of the security forces with their attacks.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula (FILMMAKER GETS Attorney) CERRITOS Ca.
CERRITOS, Calif. - The man behind the anti-Muslim movie that has inflamed the Middle East has obtained legal counsel.
Escorted by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies, attorney Steve Seiden emerged from the Cerritos, California, home of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula after a lengthy meeting Friday afternoon.
Seiden says he's been asked to consult with Nakoula about matters he's not at liberty to discuss.
Seiden said to reporters, "You're keeping his young children prisoners in their home because they're afraid to come out."
Seiden said he had no further comment, but asked the throng of news media to leave.
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula (ON PROBATION) NOT to use COMPUTER (YOUTUBE MUST CANCEL ACCOUNT)
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal probation office is looking into the case of the anti-Muslim filmmaker whose work is inflaming the Middle East.
The probation department in California's central district is reviewing the case of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who was previously convicted on bank fraud charges and was banned from using computers or the Internet as part of his sentence. He's still on probation.
Karen Redmond, a spokeswoman for the administrative office of the U.S. courts, confirmed Friday the review is under way. If the probation department determines Nakoula violated terms of his release, a judge could send him back to prison.
Nakoula pleaded no contest in 2010 to federal bank fraud charges in California and was ordered to pay more than $790,000 in restitution. He was also sentenced to 21 months in federal prison and was ordered not to use computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer.
It could be difficult to establish a probation violation against Nakoula. In the federal court system, the conditions of supervised release are geared toward the offense for which a defendant was found guilty and imprisoned; in Nakoula's case, bank fraud.
Federal authorities have identified Nakoula, a self-described Coptic Christian, as the key figure behind the anti-Muslim film that ignited mob violence against U.S. embassies across the Mideast, a U.S. law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Thursday.
