Crime wears on Tijuana, San Diego - USATODAY.com (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | TIJUANA, Mexico Americans have been crossing into this border city from San Diego since it was founded more than a century ago, sampling food, culture, easy liquor and fast nightlife. |
 | | Tijuana, population 1.2 million, saw one slaying a day in 2006 and roughly two kidnappings a week. |
 | | In Operation Tijuana, Mexico's new president, Felipe Calderón, ordered 3,300 federal military police in to take control of the city on Jan. 3, set up roving checkpoints, and in a move that would be unimaginable on the U.S. side, took the service guns away from each of the more than 2,300 municipal officers. |
