The number of killings, beatings, kidnappings and rapes near the US-Mexico border is increasing as pipeline networks expand and new conduits are installed to handle the oil output from South Texas Eagle Ford Formation, one of the most actively drilled areas in the US, Bloomberg Businessweek magazine reported.
Thousands of miles of pipelines sprawling across southwest of US are unmonitored, because they often stretch through private properties. As a result, they become execution sites for business rivals, drug couriers and other people who just appear to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, according to Bloomberg Business week.
