Mexico drug war cartels join forces

The Mexican government says nearly 23,000 people have died in drug-related violence since a military crackdown on cartels began in 2006.

That announcement comes as officials face a new front in their war against the drug gangs.

Two of Mexico's most powerful cartels have joined forces to battle government security forces as well as a third cartel seeking its own slice of the cross-border drug trade.

Al Jazeera's Mariana Sanchez reports from Mexico City (14 April 2010).

Los zetas are a paramilitary and terrorist group created by theUSA. They were trained by israelis and the cia at Escuela de las Americas. But the street criminals showed by the media are only mercenaries recruited by them. the CIA recruits criminals who are armed by ATF and protected by DEA.

Gringos have secret operations in all countries of latin america and the Caribbean. Terrorism in Mexico has been created by gringos and it started under the Republican administration of Bush junior.

@tichergeorge probably because cuba is close to the Florida and it is used as jump board for cocaine smuggling. Cuba lays in the middle of the most direct route from southamerica to the united states. It is strategically located few miles away from florida; and southamerican cocaine can easily be smuggled from cuba to the peninsula of florida or peninsula of yucatan. Cubans don't touch one cent, All is controlled by the C.I.A (Americans) The corrupt leftist government of cuba is ownwd by USA

aljazeera is a pro-israel channel. That's why they never report on drug trafficking taking place in the narco states of cuba and venezuela.

México's enemies are the narco commies sponsored and supported by Americans and their secret agencies. This is global
