103 alleged Honduran MS-13 gang members arrested in U.S. – Mar 14, 2005

http://www.knowgangs.com/gang_resources/ms/ms_001.htm These dirtbags have been crawling up from under the radar for awhile now, but this is the first time I’ve seen much about them from the “big” media. Fortunately, they’re making news by getting locked up.

Here are a few http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29133-2005Feb16.html recent http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2005-02-23-gang-salvador_x.htm articles about them that didn’t make the evening news. The news is light, but the threat is real.
