Recently described as a "civil war" by former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the Mexican government has stepped up its assault on the powerful drug cartels operating within Mexico's borders. Both sides have struck; the killing of former a brigadier general and recently-named anti-drug official took place in Cancun this week, marking one of the first instances of cartel-related violence taking place in Mexico outside of the northern cities. Meanwhile, Mexican authorities this week apprehended a key cartel coordinator outside of Mexico City and charged another man last month in Tijuana with disposing over 300 bodies for the cartels in acid over the last decade.
