After the bomb threat at a private school in Del Rio, there are rumors of threats to blow up a school in Acuna.The schools have sent children home until Monday.
Army patrols seem to be everywhere during the night. People are frightened and everyone has a rumor to share. It is frustrating that the media does not provide solid information, but their reluctance to report specifics is understandable. Reporters in other Mexican cities were killed for reporting the facts.
Rumors of kidnappings and car-jackings are the most common rumor I hear. If nothing occurs this weekend it is another victory for the Mexican government. The show of military force may intimidate the cartels. Just like last weekend, many predict this will be a violent weekend. Last weeks predictions were wrong. Now, the city waits for nightfall.
