Mexican cop, now in El Paso hospital, is a marked man
Posted on Sun Feb 10th, 2008 at 05:30:39 PM EST Mexican state police commander Fernando Lozano Sandoval is currently recovering from multiple gunshot wounds inflicted after gunmen ambushed his SUV on a boulevard in Ciudad Juárez on Monday evening. Jan. 21.
Lozano was one of three Mexican cops gunned down during a bloody shooting spree over the course of Jan. 20 and 21 in Juárez. The other two cops, who were municipal police officers, were not so lucky. They are both dead.
But Lozano is not receiving the critical medical attention he needs in a Juárez hospital. He is, in fact, under the care of physicians and nurses at El Paso’s Thomason Hospital, which is now under the armed protection of U.S. law enforcement officers.
The extreme security at Thomason has created a backlash in the Texas community of El Paso, located just across the Rio Grande from Juárez. Press reports indicate that El Paso residents are concerned about the safety of their community due to the Lozano’s presence, fearing that their city has now been thrust into the front lines of Mexico’s bloody narco-trafficking turf war.
If that is the case, it may well be officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that have put El Paso in that position. ICE sources tell Narco News that Lozano is an ICE informant who was marked for assassination because narco-traffickers in Juárez believe he tipped off U.S. law enforcers to the location of a stash house in the El Paso area that contained more than five tons of marijuana.
