VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) - A severed head accompanied by a note of defiance from organized crime gangs and two hand grenades was found outside a military barracks in Veracruz state on Saturday.
The head was found in a box outside the army base in Veracruz city, shortly after the government announced it was sending troops to respond to a shooting attack. The box also held a message saying gangs would continue operating despite the presence of troops.
"We are going to continue, even if federal forces are here," state Public Safety Secretary Juan Manuel Orozco quoted the note as saying.
