Boston police are “turning up the heat” on a violent East Boston gang recently linked to the al-Qaida terrorist network, the Boston Herald said Wednesday.
The gang, La Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13, has roots in El Salvador and been tied to machete attacks, rapes and home invasions. It allegedly has 100 “hard-core members” in East Boston with hundreds more in towns along the North Shore, the Herald reported.
