Matamoros prison breakout reported | breakout, matamoros, prison - Valley and State - Brownsville Herald: "A Mexican news organization reported a massive breakout from the Matamoros Prison.
According to Proceso, the breakout took place Wednesday night when an armed commando arrived at the prison and freed 40 federal inmates.
Mexican law enforcement officials would not comment on the purported breakout, and as of Saturday morning there had been no official statement about such an occurrence.
A source with firsthand knowledge of criminal activity in Mexico confirmed the escape and said jail breakouts have become a common technique for drug cartels to fill their ranks in the ongoing war between the Gulf Cartel and the Zetas criminal organization.
The source attributes the breakout to an armed commando of the Gulf Cartel which has made a recent push against Zeta strongholds in the central and southern part of Tamaulipas.
Two weeks prior to the breakout, 14 alleged Zetas were killed with homemade knives during a violent conflict at that same prison in the Santa Adelaida community near the outskirts of Matamoros.
