Threatened Tijuana mayor seeks safety at army base after 7 bodies found in pickup truck

The mayor of Tijuana, Montserrat Caballero, has made the decision to live at an army base for her own security. The announcement follows the discovery of seven dead bodies found.

"I have received threats, so I am going to live at the base," Caballero said. Local media reported the army base is on the southern edge of Tijuana, about 5 miles from the city hall.

Caballero did not say who the threats had come from. But it is well known that several drug cartels are waging turf battles in Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, California.
