A flash alert has gone out on the United States side of the US-Mexico Border alerting that Mexican Drug Cartels are now planting Improvised Explosive Devices (IED's) along the US-Mexico Border. The Cartels fear US Troops will soon be entering Mexico to destroy the cartels.
Authorities have issued an urgent warning for travelers crossing the border between the United States and Mexico, after cartel members were monitored placing explosives along roadways in Tamaulipas.
Officials from both countries are now urging caution.
Residents in Tamaulipas, just across the border from Brownsville, were alerted to the threat Sunday. A flyer, posted in Spanish, shows photos of the explosives and reads, "don't touch, don't move, don't manipulate."
