    E.O. 12958: N/A
    TAGS: PTER ASEC PGOV MX
    SUBJECT: MEXICO - COUNTRY TERRORISM REPORT FOR 2009

    REF: STATE 109980

    ¶1. No known international terrorist organizations have an
    operational presence in Mexico and no terrorist incidents
    targeting U.S. interests/personnel have occurred on or
    originated from Mexican territory. Mexico continues to
    confront well-armed, organized crime elements in several
    regions of the country and traditional hot spots for
    narcotics trafficking have seen record levels of violence.
    Small and weak anti-social groups perpetrated isolated acts
    of vandalism with the intention of disrupting commercial
    stability and raising awareness of their cause. Although no
    international terrorist organizations have sought to use
    Mexico as a haven for operations, the organized crime
    syndicates and the consequent security problems on the border
    pose a vulnerability that could allow for a future terrorist
    transit point into the U.S. The Mexican Government remains a
    highly committed partner and shows no sign of complacency in
    its fight against organized crime and remains vigilant
    against domestic and international terrorist threats.

    ¶2. Although incidents of domestic terrorism have not
    increased over the past year, Mexico received threats from a
    previously active group and witnessed the emergence of a new
    element. El Ejercito Popular Revolucionario (EPR) dissolved
    talks with the Government of Mexico in April and threatened
    to reemploy violent measures to force a response to its
    demands for a government investigation into the disappearance
    of two of its members. In 2007, it launched two attacks on
    petroleum pipelines. In 2009, no acts of terrorism were
    attributed to the EPR. From May to August, the animal
    liberation front, ALF, claimed responsibility for attacking
    banks and commercial sites throughout Mexico,s capital city
    using propane tank bombs. Three bombs were discovered
    unexploded, while another three caused property damage but no
    casualties.

    ¶3. Levels of organized crime and narcotics violence rose
    significantly in the traditional hot spots along the border
    and in marijuana cultivation regions. Cartels increasingly
    use military-style terrorist tactics to intimidate Mexican
    security forces and establish dominance in specific regions.
    In June, the Michoacan-based La Familia organization carried
    out a series of retaliatory attacks that killed 12 federal
    police personnel in response to the apprehension of a
    high-level drug trafficker. The speed, precision, and tactics
    used by several groups indicated that the actions were well
    coordinated and the perpetrators well trained. The state of
    Chihuahua experienced an increase in narcotics-related deaths
    as rival cartels used sophisticated communications procedures
    and military weaponry to target and assassinate rival cartel
    members. There is no apparent evidence of ties between
    Mexican organized crime syndicates and international
    terrorist groups. The violence attributed to organized crime
    groups on the border, however, continues to strain Mexico,s
    law enforcement capacities creating potential vulnerabilities
    in terms of terrorist exploitation seeking access to the U.S
    through Mexico.

    ¶4. Currently, there is no indication that terrorist
    organizations are using Mexico as a conduit for illicit
    activities. Nevertheless, Mexico,s still nascent capacity to
    counter money laundering suggests a potential vulnerability.
    The Mexican Attorney General,s (PGR) Organized Crime
    Division,s (SIEDO) money laundering unit investigates and
    prosecutes money laundering crimes in Mexico with mixed
    results. The majority of its investigations are linked to
    organized crime and drug proceeds. Currently, drug proceeds
    in Mexico are laundered primarily in the form  bulk currency
    movements or through currency exchange houses, such as casas
    de cambio and smaller centros cambiarios. In order to combat
    the illegal movement of funds, Mexican financial institutions
    typically follow international standards such as &know your
    customer8 and due diligence advocated by the Financial
    Action Task Force (FAFT) Recommendations. These institutions
    also terminate the accounts of individuals and entities
    identified on international country lists such as the Office
    of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) Specially Designated National
    and Blocked Persons List. Furthermore, Mexican financial
    institutions follow the Ley de Institciones de Crdito,
    Artculo 115, Disposicin 68 y 41 (Law of Credit

    MEXICO 00000027  002 OF 003

    Institutions, Article 115, Sub article 68 and 41) as ordered
    by the Mexican Treasury and supervised by the CNBV or
    Comisin Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (National Bank and
    Securities Commission). This law requires banks to consult
    recognized international and country lists of individuals
    involved in terrorism or other illicit activities and submit
    a &suspicious activities report8 within 24 hours to the
    Mexican Department of Treasury,s Financial Intelligence Unit
    (UIF) on the activities of any individual on that list.

    ¶5. The Government of Mexico has stepped up efforts to improve
    interagency coordination as part of its campaign to combat
    crime and prevent terrorism. It has created a national
    database known as Plataforma Mexico designed to promote
    greater information exchange and overall interoperability
    across Mexico,s numerous and disparate police entities.
    Tactical Intelligence Operations Units (UNITO) represent a
    new Government of Mexico mechanism that brings together all
    federal agencies in a given state to coordinate intelligence
    and operations.  Command, control, communications, and
    computer centers (also known as C-4 centers) located in
    several states vary in capabilities from simple call centers
    to analytical cells that produce analysis and support the
    development of operations. The U.S. directly supports
    programs to help both the Secretariat for Public Security
    (SSP) and the PGR train federal investigators and facilitate
    greater operational coordination and effectiveness.

    ¶6. The U.S. and the Government of Mexico worked together to
    address a number of challenges in connection to Mexico,s
    southern and northern borders in 2009. The U.S. deployed two
    teams to Mexico,s southern border to conduct assessments.
    Its border with Guatemala and Belize remains very porous and
    poses a vulnerability in terms of serving as potential
    terrorist transit point. The U.S. is working with the
    Government of Mexico to address resource requirements and
    offer some best practices applied effectively at other ports
    of entry. The U.S. and the Government of Mexico agreed to
    coordinate actions at the northern border ports of entry in
    order to obstruct the flow of illegal arms and currency
    across the U.S./Mexico border. Pilot programs in Nogales and
    Eagle Pass are proving to be successful by increasing the
    number of vehicles inspected while lowering the wait time at
    the border crossing. The U.S. supported the establishment of
    the Mexico Targeting Center, modeled after the CBP National
    Targeting Center-Cargo (NTC-C) which should strengthen
    Mexico,s ability to target suspicious or illicit cargo
    entering or leaving Mexico. The Advance Passenger Information
    system (APIS) supports targeting efforts, increases
    information sharing, and enhances intelligence capabilities
    in identify special interest aliens (SIA) at ports of entry.
    The U.S. and the Government of Mexico also commenced the
    Joint Security Program (JSP) for Travelers, a pilot program
    that promotes exchanges of immigration officials as part of
    an effort to streamline the APIS referral process, and seeks
    to identify and track suspected terrorists, fugitives, or
    smugglers.

    ¶7. In June 2008, President Calderon signed into law a number
    of security and justice reforms. The security reforms granted
    police greater investigative authorities and facilitated the
    ability of law enforcement officials to seize the assets of
    individuals implicated in criminal activity. The justice
    reforms effected constitutional changes that provide for a
    presumption of innocence in criminal and civil prosecutions
    and allow for evidence-based oral trials promoting greater
    transparency and more confidence in the judicial system. The
    law provides for the identification of &control judges8
    invested with the authority to issue expeditious warrants for
    wiretaps or the arrest of targets of interest. Although these
    measures are primarily aimed at organized crime groups, the
    legislation also supports investigations against domestic or
    international terrorists. The government has eight years to
    implement the justice reform legislation adopted in 2008; to
    date, implementation has been slow and uneven.

    ¶8.  The U.S. and the Government of Mexico have worked closely
    to implement a robust Diplomatic Security Anti-Terrorism
    Assistance (ATA) program with associated funding levels
    expected to rise from $503,000 in 2008 to $6 million in 2010.
    In 2009, ATA programs provided training for 300 Mexican

    MEXICO 00000027  003 OF 003

    security officials in 18 courses or seminars on matters
    ranging from VIP protection to digital security and forensics.
