Description


2011 Monterrey casino attack

The 2011 Monterrey casino attack was a narcoterrorist attack that took place in city of Monterrey, Nuevo León, in the country of Mexico, on 25 August 2011. Government sources revealed that 52 people were killed,[2] but the Blog del Narco mention that 61 bodies were eventually found after a few days.[3] In addition, this terrorist attack left over a dozen injured, and over 35 trapped for several hours before the Mexican forces arrived at the place a few minutes after the incident.[4] Media reports said the majority of those killed were women,[5] including one who was pregnant.[6] Although the government crackdown of the drug cartels dates back to 2006,[7] Monterrey became an increasingly violent city in 2010,[8] due to the rupture of the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas.[9]
