【我的总结与翻译】

President Bush has asked the U.S. Congress to provide Mexico with close to $1.5 billion in assistance to help fight the drug cartels.

布什总统已要求美国国会向墨西哥提供近15亿美元的援助以帮助贩毒团伙。

Mexician President (Felipe Calderon) began a major offensive against the criminal organizations shortly after taking office in December 2006. The going has been tough for both the law enforcement groups and the general public as rival gangs fight the police and each other. Drug violence claimed more than 2,500 lives in Mexico last year. Most of the violence has been in the border region, where both drug and humman smuggling gangs operate, often with the protection of local police.

墨西哥总统Felipe Calderon在2006年12月上任不久对犯罪团伙就开始进行了大规模的打击行动。这一行动对执法部门和普通大众来说都很棘手，因为犯罪团伙与警察、犯罪团伙之间都有冲突。去年，墨西哥由于毒品引发的暴力事件就造成了2500多人的死亡，其中大多发生在毒品、人口贩卖猖獗的边境地区，而这些行为通常都有当地警察的保护。

In an effort to crack down on violence and police corruption, Mexican military units went into the broder cities of (Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa and Matamoros) Tuesday, disarming local police and carrying out investigations.

在一次打击暴力和警察腐败的行动中，墨西哥军方于周二进驻了边境城市Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa和Matamoros，解除了当地警察的武装并展开的调查。

The Mexican army carried out operations last week on the western end of the border, in the city of (Tijuana), where soliders and faderal police engaged in 3-hour gun battle last Thursday that ended with the death of one gunman and the wounding of 4 police officers. Police detained 5 alleged drug cartel gunman in the raid.

上周，墨西哥军方在西部边陲城市Tijuana执行任务，在当地，士兵与联邦警察于周四进行了一起长达3小时的枪战，最终，一名持枪歹徒死亡，四名警察受伤。在这个行动中，警方逮捕了5名疑为贩毒团伙的持枪歹徒。

地名完全不知道，其余的还好。。。。
