53 people were killed in Juarez,Mexico in a 72 hour period starting on Thursday and ending Saturday. 4 police officers were killed during this 72 hour period. Friday was the worst day of the killing 20 people were killed. Juarez is one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico because of the drug war between the Juarez cartel and Sinaloa cartel. These two powerful cartels are fighting over turf and secretive drug smuggling routes into the United States. There has been so much killing the city is having trouble storing all of the bodies. Juarez is averaging 8 murders a day for 2011 right now ,but this weekend will probably raise the average even more.
