The Mexican army and heavily armed federal police with a helicopter flying overhead raided a drug warehouse Thursday morning in Juárez even as killings are surging beyond the extraordinary levels of last year.
If it isn't a war zone, it would be hard to tell by the body count, which has reached 207 in the Juárez area this year.
In the first five days of February, 54 people were slain, surpassing the 37 homicides in all of February last year.

Last Saturday, three severed heads - the latest in a string of similar decapitations in the valley - were found in an ice chest in the main plaza in El Millón, along with an undisclosed threatening message, police said.
The valley drug-smuggling corridor is reputedly controlled by Jose Rodolfo Escajeda, alias "El Rikin," who was featured by the Drug Enforcement Administration on a "wanted" billboard in El Paso last year, a DEA spokesman said. Escajeda remains at large.
