MEXICO: Security forces under attack in Jalisco
The security forces in the western state of Jalisco appear to have become a target for the criminal organisations that operate there. Since last week there have been reports of deadly armed attacks by presumed criminals on law enforcement officials in the state. These reports are seen as providing added weight to the official view that as other drug trafficking organisations (DTOs) such as Pacífico/Sinaloa, Los Zetas and Los Caballeros Templarios (LCT) appear to have been weakened as a result of the successive blows that the security forces have managed to land on them lately, the Jalisco Nueva Generación (JNG) gang appears to have got stronger.
