I really don't know if this story is true and it is from the liberal media but it is about that story that was posted in the last 10 days. The headline is framed in a way to be very derisive of our own government.

TIJUANA, Mexico — Across the border from Texas in the state of Coahuila, in the Five Springs or Cinco Manantiales region, hundreds of townspeople were abducted and brutally massacred in the spring of 2011.

That year in mid-March, heavily armed commandos burst into these towns with a long list of targets, leaving destroyed homes and businesses in their wake as evidence of their crimes. First, though, they let at least one mayor know what was about to happen.

For years, the massacre went uninvestigated and officially unconfirmed, but the locals who remained behind guarded the memory of their missing-and-presumed-dead by fearfully whispering their versions of events among each other. Survivors shared stories of the explosions they heard that week in mid-March, and the destruction they witnessed. But piles of rubble sat unprodded by authorities.

Many of the roughly 300 victims—more than 80 separate families—did not know each other, but most had something in common, beyond calling the same region home. They shared a combination of the same common last names: Garza, Gaytán, Moreno, and Villanueva.
