A Mexican drug cartel claiming its members were behind the brazen kidnapping of four Americans last week handed over five of the members and left a note of apology, Mexican media outlets and The Associated Press reported Thursday.
Photos circulating on social media show five men on the pavement with their hands tied – four of them shirtless – in front of a pickup truck, which has a handwritten letter of apology on the windshield.
The AP reported obtaining a copy of the letter from a law enforcement source in Tamaulipas, the Mexican state where the American travelers were attacked. Two of them were killed and another one wounded in a shooting Friday shortly after arriving in the border city of Matamoros for cosmetic surgery.

Strange but true.
Two things in this world takes faith to make it work… money and God. Money is just made of paper that has no value in itself, people have to believe in it to give it monetary value. God, on the other hand talks about how we should live together to keep from destroying ourselves (“do unto others as would have done unto ourselves”). Money gives us things to play with God gives us purpose in what we do. When we die money will buy us a tombstone to put over our grave, on the other hand, God will give us a soul so we can keep on living, self evidence in God actually lives in the Constitution of some countries… Which one do you believe has more value?
All 4 had extensive drug arrest records …
and ? so what ??? they paid their debts to society blaming the victims fr their own death ?
Snooze fest.
