A Mexican drug cartel is promising no violence during next weekend’s visit of Pope Benedict.
At least 11 banners signed by The Knights Templar gang were found in five municipalities on Saturday morning and carried messages about a truce during the Pope’s visit.
Mexico’s Reforma newspaper reports the banner read,”The Knights Templar disavow any military action, we are not murderers, welcome to the Pope”
Benedict is scheduled to visit Guanajuato from Friday until Monday, when he will fly to Cuba.
On Sunday, Mexican authorities announced they had found 10 severed heads dumped outside a slaughterhouse in a town in northern Guerrero state. They said police were still searching for the bodies.
A message left with the bodies of seven men and three women gave a warning that this will happen if you support the La Familia cartel.
