Informant Killed Another Informant?

This is straight out of a Philip Dick novel. An alleged member of the Juarez drug cartel has been arrested and accused of taking out a hit on another member of the same cartel—and here’s the kicker: both of the men were government informants, the Associated Press reports. An 18-year-old U.S. soldier and another 17-year-old stand accused of carrying out the contract killing on the Juarez lieutenant, who was also feeding information to the DEA. The Associated Press reports that the informant who was murdered lived in an upscale neighborhood in El Paso, Texas, where his neighbors included the local police chief and district attorney. It is not yet clear why one informant took out a killing on another.
