The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 598 The Camorella Incident

The vague Latin rap music sounded in the conference room. In the constantly shaking camera, a rusty trumpet hand ax was placed on a blood-stained wooden table. The photographer picked up the hand ax and put it again. The camera turned towards him, revealing his face covered with tattoos.

"Mexican people, remember. Only Andres Doza can protect you from foreign aggression."

Then the camera turned to a white man kneeling on the ground. The next moment, the hand ax swung down and chopped off half of the man's hand.

"Ah!" The shrill screams echoed in the small conference room, and everyone's expressions darkened. Even Sonny Quinn, who had been grinning with a toothpick between his teeth, had a cynical smile on his face. Gone.

The camera kept shaking, and the cruel torture continued. After 5 minutes, many people could not bear to lower their heads. Feeling that the heat was almost over, Jack turned off the video.

"The total length of this video is thirty minutes." He just added this and returned to his seat.

The air in the conference room seemed to be frozen. Anyone with a normal mind would feel sad when seeing such a cruel scene.

What's more, the victim was a DEA agent, and the people present were all Americans. It was inevitably reminiscent of the Camorella incident that shocked the world in the 80s.

Camorella is not a place, but a name. His experience is a thorn in the heart of all Americans who still have conscience.

The time goes back to 1974, not long after the DEA was established, and a Mexican Marine named Kiki Camorella volunteered to be recruited.

Camorella, who spent his childhood in Mexico, suffered deeply from drug addiction. After joining the DEA, he has been fighting on the front line of anti-drugs. He did an outstanding job, but he was also desperate because he discovered that only within federal borders Cracking down on drug dealers is simply treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

He believed that if the source could not be destroyed, new drug traffickers would appear like gophers, so in 1980, Camorella resolutely applied to his superiors to be transferred to the DEA office in Guadalajara, Mexico.

In Mexico at that time, drug cartels were still changing from the old-fashioned "farmer group with a social basis" to the modern model of "using military methods to kill and hiring economists and lawyers to cover up".

Guadalajara was the largest drug distribution center in Mexico at the time, with various forces spread throughout it. It was like the Jerusalem of the drug kingpin.

At this time, the Guadalajara drug cartel had not yet split. It was at its peak, and even the then Mexican president was bribed by the drug cartel and became their patron.

The stubborn Camorella used his own strength to tear a hole in the iron curtain.

In the 80s, when the good guy "Carter" had just stepped down and the "actor" President came to power, the federal government launched a wave of severe drug control. Camorella spent four years submitting a document containing photos, transportation routes, Detailed evidence including transaction methods, etc.

Faced with federal pressure, Mexican officials had no choice but to take action. More than 80 soldiers descended from the sky, raided the "Buffalo Ranch" with an annual output value of US$ billion, and burned thousands of hectares of its fields to the ground. .

Subsequently, a drug smuggling plane flying from Guadalajara to Arizona in the United States was intercepted, and 0.7 tons of cocaine was confiscated. The Mexican drug lords responsible for the transportation had to pay more than million US dollars in compensation to the Colombians. payment.

Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. The furious Guadalajara drug cartel had already connected with the CIA at that time. It was at its most arrogant moment that it immediately and without any scruples attacked the Americans living in Guadalajara. Start killing.

In less than a month, seven Americans were captured, tortured and tortured to death. Just when they had no clue, some people in the CIA who had also suffered losses took action.

Someone in the CIA betrayed Camorella to the Guadalajara group, and there were even rumors that a CIA agent personally participated in the planning and deceived him out of the consulate.

What followed was 36 hours of brutal torture. A personal doctor named Humberto was involved throughout the process. In order to keep Camorella awake throughout the process, he would inject large doses of amphetamines at regular intervals. A month later, Camorella's body was found beside a highway in Michoacán. The skin of his entire lower body had been peeled off, with no teeth left. His skull was deformed, and all the bones in his body, including his ribs, were missing. Almost none of them are intact.

The fatal injury was a long steel nail on the top of his head. The forensic autopsy report showed that the steel nail was hammered into the top of his head bit by bit. Judging from the terrifying content of amphetamine in Camorella's body, he He was forced to persist until the last moment of his life in a state of sobriety and in endless pain.

The CIA's involvement was not yet known at the time, but when Camorella's autopsy report was sent back to the federation and reported by the media, the whole world became a sensation.

The faceless "actor" Reagan immediately put pressure on the CIA, and some people were forced to hand over the entire recording of Camorella's violence, which became key evidence for the conviction of the La Jala Cartel.

The federal government subsequently issued an ultimatum to Mexico, demanding that all those involved be brought to justice. Mexican officials were very aware of the current situation and arrested the three leaders of the Guadalajara Group, Rafael Carlo Quintero and Ernesto. ·Fonseca and Miguel Felix.

However, under the money offensive, Mexican officials miraculously withstood federal pressure. All these drug lords were sentenced to long-term imprisonment and were gradually released from prison in the next ten years or so. However, the Guadalajara Cartel subsequently collapsed. The rise of "El Chapo" Guzman is another story.

There have always been many secrets that have been made public or are still unknown, such as the disgraceful role played by the CIA, the almost public protection of these drug lords by Mexican officials, and the internal affairs of the DEA. The same not-so-clean shit.

So when Jack saw this video, he had a clearer understanding of the reason why he appeared here.

Obviously, once this video is exposed to the media, it will definitely cause an uproar, which will undoubtedly bring back some bad memories among the domestic people.

This is a result that no one wants to see, no matter which side of the "donkey" or "elephant" parties. After all, everyone has a dirty bottom when it comes to drugs, and no one wants to be affected by this indiscriminate bomb.

Therefore, the federation must immediately respond and carry out retaliatory actions, whether it is arresting Andres Doza back to the federation or simply killing him directly. Only in this way can the funeral be silenced in advance and the funeral can be celebrated happily.

As for the CIA and DEA, although both sides know that fighting again will only hurt both sides, a certain scar between them has been torn open again. It is definitely useless to expect the two to trust and cooperate as before.

Some of the people above had obviously tasted the benefits of the previous joint operation that Jack participated in. Although a CIA agent died and the final goal was not achieved, the operation was nominally "successful". After all, several drug dealer leaders were killed. , the pressure on the border has also been reduced.

And this also proves one thing. Even when multiple departments are jointly involved, holding each other back and watching each other's every move, the CIA and DEA slickers are still willing to work hard, at least they really caused the operation to go wrong. The fundamental reason is that there is a traitor in Mexico, not.

So in theory, the FBI and the previous departments, which had nothing to do with both parties, were dragged into this retaliation, and Jack was named because of his outstanding performance.

In fact, it was not that the SEALs selected Jack from a candidate list, but that this was the only candidate given to them. The order Jason Hayes received was that FBI personnel must participate in the entire process, and at the same time, ensure that His safety.

This led to the so-called adaptive training three months in advance, which was also the only condition proposed by the military. Although judging from past cooperation, the military and the CIA have worked together more often, but they can never completely fall back on each other. Some side.

They are also afraid that the CIA will make some small moves in this matter and let the military take the blame.

As for the CIA's insistence on capturing Andres Doza alive, whether it was to obtain a confession from the other party to prove his innocence, or whether it had some other idea, it is not known.

Just as the military representative Colonel Harrington said at the end of the meeting, after breaking the somewhat dull atmosphere.

"No one can treat an American like this. You go to Mexico, find Doza, cuff him or put him in a coffin before you come back. Do you understand?"
