Fox News is reporting that San Diego Border Agents found a “decapitation wire” on one of their patrol roots. Details are sketchy but it sounds like someone strung a thin wire capable of cutting flesh, probably fishing line which is the best material for an ambush like this, through a fence in an attempt to disrupt patrols and injure (or more likely kill) agents who drive through the area at speed on ATVs.

From Kpho:

An agent discovered the wire on the ground Saturday. It was strung about 150 feet between San Diego’s two border fences, leading through a hole into Mexico. The agency said the wire would be about four feet high if someone pulled on it from the Mexican side — high enough to strike an agent on all-terrain vehicle in the neck.

The discovery comes amid rising border violence in San Diego. The Border Patrol says agents are increasingly under attack from people on Mexican soil and has retaliated in some cases by firing tear gas.

The border war is heating up.
