Mexican Army Commander Sergio Aponte of the Second Military Region, leading the anti-drug offensive against the key drug cartels in Baja California and Sonora, confirmed Friday that the Army has refused a deal offered by drug traffickers.
Aponte said organized crime proposed late last month and early February that it would stop activity in Mexico if the Army ceased operations against them.
Since the Army's refusal, he said, there have been more mutilated bodies of executed people accompanied by threatening messages.
The National Defense Office dismantled a network in Chihuahua of eight ex military who spied on the Army there for the drug cartels.
Along with those arrested, the office confiscated communications technology, rifles, pistols and ammo.
In Oaxaca, following a shooting exchange, several traffickers were arrested and their weapons and drugs seized.
The Army defused a bomb planted at a free trade zone factory in Tijuana, and nine people were killed in different states through out the country.
