During the morning of this Friday a gunfight between an armed commando an military personnel left 5 killed and 10 injured. The gunfight started around 4:00 AM in the outskirts of the city on the road leading to the city towards the north over Mexico 15, when unknown armed commandos lead a cold blooded attack against the soldiers





Retired General Moises Melo Garcia mentioned that it was possible that this was a premeditated attack because the troops had already spent something in the mountains Huixiopa, Badiraguato.

Hundreds of remains of bullets from different calibers were left at the scene, neighbors claimed that they lived through minutes of terror because the sound of the gunshots was so loud that they had to hide and crawl inside their homes.

Apparently the sicarios's motive to attack the Mexican army convoy was to rescue Chapo's brother "El Guano" which was being transferred to Culiacan where the ambush happened.

I often wonder why the Mexican Cartel's cannot learn from the history of LCN in New York?

There is definitely enough to go around so why don't the leaders of all the orginizations make peace, set up a commission and, everyone gets and equitable piece of the action. Constant killing only guarantees that you yourself will always have to look over your shoulder, as well as for your family.

The Cartels' main racket is a international network that provide enough resources to endure lengthy conflicts. Also, The LCN commission still didn't prevent small nor internal conflicts just mitigated large scale families conflict.

In normal times the U.S. would go in there and help the Mexican authorities wipe out these bums !!

They've made and still do meeting between the leaders and bosses of the cartels in Mexico but some cartel's don't mix with each other(Zetas and Sinaloa). The conflicts between the cartels is a lot more complex than people realize but there was a golden age when the cartels for the most part didn't kill each other like they do now but since the beginning of the crackdown of the cartels and the U.S government they(Mexico, U.S.) has made a mess of truces and alliances. It's a very dirty war currently going in Mexico crossing and double crossings, the cartels making deals with both the U.S and Mexican governments to get immunity while they give info on rival cartels, making the cartels doubt each other, spreading false information etc. creating paranoia between and within the organizations. It's basically a divide and conquer strategy by both the Mexican government and U.S government that is causing a lot of the violence and the cartels don't realize that for or can't tell the difference the most part but they still do meetings it's just the people at the bottom who are fighting. But they also have their disagreements which accounts for a lot of violence too. It's both.

This post sounds like I am blaming the U.S government and Mexican government the ones creating much of the violence by spreading false info, giving immunity to certain cartels in exchange of info on both rivals and other bosses within the organization and so on but the cartels also have their disagreements like not paying "piso" or tax on rival or other cartel's territory to move drugs etc. Cartels expanding on rival territories when it's deemed weak to take a bigger slice of the pie etc. In all its a bit of both or both. This is a more accurate picture.

They already do that but instead of bullets they give Intel to the Mexican government which is more effective than bullets.
