- A letter from a group claiming to be a Mexican cartel responsible for the recent killings of two Americans in Matamoros offered an apology on behalf of its own members for the attack, according to The Associated Press.
- The Gulf cartel’s Scorpions faction wrote an apology to the residents of Matamoros, where four Americans were kidnapped, two of which were killed, the AP reported. The Americans were kidnapped Friday in the Mexico border town across from Brownsville, Texas.
- “We have decided to turn over those who were directly involved and responsible in the events, who at all times acted under their own decision-making and lack of discipline,” the letter reads.
