To Beat the Narcos, Mexico Must Put Security Before Politics

The assassination of two of Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada's close aides last week was one of them. The shocking murders during the morning commute on one of the city's busiest avenues were designed for maximum political impact. The authorities have been careful not to air any conjectures about who was responsible. But the attack makes very clear that Claudia Sheinbaum doesn't have much room to continue soft-pedalling Mexico's security challenge.

Bloody Murders in Quiet Neighborhood Shatter Mexico City's Calm
In the vast swaths of Mexico controlled by drug cartels, public executions and mass graves have long been the norm. Mexico City has largely been a haven from the goriest headlines. That changed Tuesday morning, when two close aides to Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada were shot and killed in a targeted attack at a main thoroughfare in an otherwise quiet residential neighborhood. While it wasn't clear who was behind the shooting, the close range at which the two aides were shot leaves little doubt that professionals were involved.
