Gangland-style murders, now about seven per day just across the US border from El Paso, TX, continue unabated in Juárez, Mexico despite the presence of 7,500 soldiers and an additional 2,300 federal police officers.

Here's the update: June has already seen 130 new deaths. That adds up to 2,300 murders in the city in the past 18 months.

Howard Campbell, a University of Texas at El Paso anthropology professor-expert on the history of drug cartels in Mexico, told the El Paso Times that with cross-border drug smuggling increasingly difficult, Juárez street sales have risen in importance.
