Mexican Drug War Could Spread Across Border

Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- May 12      Dobbs: Mexico's raging drug wars are escalating. The second-ranking police officer in the border city of Juarez was gunned down Saturday and his boss, the police chief, then announced his resignation. The State Department, the U.S. State Department is renewing its call for Congress to release more than $1 billion in aid to Mexico to help it fight the drug cartels. Casey Wian has our report.     Wian: (voice-over): A 50-shot fuselage killed Juan Antonio Roman, second in command of the Juarez police force Saturday. At least five senior Mexican law enforcement officers have been assassinated within a week. Roman's name was number one on this suspected drug cartel hit list left at a Juarez police memorial in January.     So far 2,500 Mexican federal troops have been unable to stop the violence in Juarez, the city just across the Rio Grande from El Paso has endured more than 200 drug-related killings so far this year. El Paso police say they've seen little evidence of the violence crossing the border into the United States, but if it does, the sheriff says they're ready, Lou.     Dobbs: Well that's very, very much a statement filled with bravado...   See Spencer's warning about Juarez from ten years ago  Watch   Transcript
