The move by a Mexican drug cartel to publicly apologize after four U.S. citizens were abducted in broad daylight last week, leaving two dead, and say it turned over the purported kidnappers is most likely an attempt to ease fallout, experts tell NBC News.
, leaving two dead, and say it turned over the purported kidnappers is most likely an attempt to"turn down the heat," experts told NBC News on Friday.
“The Gulf Cartel Grupo Escorpiones strongly condemns the events of Friday, March 3 in which unfortunately an innocent working mother died and four American citizens were kidnapped, of which two died,” a translation of the letter says. “For this reason, we have decided to hand over those involved and directly responsible for the events who at all times acted under their own determination and indiscipline and against the rules in which the CDG has always operated.
"My guess is that by issuing the apology and turning over some people they’re trying to turn the heat down," Rudman said."Whether these are the actual suspects or some fall guys remains to be seen."
