MEXICO: Looking out for a ‘cartel of cartels’
In less than a fortnight a report about discussions between leaders of three drug-trafficking cartels has turned into headlines about the formation of an alliance that already threatens to escalate violence across Mexico. So far there has been no evidence that this has happened in the three months since this initiative is said to have been floated. Indeed, there has been no corroboration of any element of the original report by the vaguely cited sources of the information.
