Los Artistas Asesinos

That is the name of a youth gang in Ciudad Juarez Mexico, just across the Rio Grande.

The gang's name is then "The Assassin Artists". That sounds like The Savage Detectives.

I wonder if any of these kids read Roberto Bolaño?

Today Notimex, the Mexican Government news agency reported:

"Además de las mesas de trabajo que iniciaron hoy, también se pondrán en marcha mesas de diálogo sobre desarrollo económico y seguridad pública, conforme a la estrategia "Todos Somos Juárez, Reconstruyamos la Ciudad", que los gobierno están enriqueciendo con las propuestas de todos lo sectores de Ciudad Juárez."

Besides the working groups that started today, dialogue groups on economic development and public safety, will start: according to the strategy. "We all are Juarez, let us Rebuild the City", which the government is enriching with all the proposals from Ciudad Juarez's sectors .

I wonder if the Mexican Government knows who organizes these Assassins?

In the 2666 novel one gets the impression that very powerful people are behind this kind of gangs.

I wonder.
