MEXICO: Car bomb, magnicide — but the pattern holds
The killing of a gubernatorial candidate in
late June and the detonation of what appeared to be a car bomb in Ciudad Juárez
in mid-July led many analysts, pundits and headline writers to proclaim that
drug-related violence in Mexico was entering a new phase, with terrorist
bombings and assassinations of public figures among its prominent features. The
drug cartels, many said, were “taking on" the political establishment. A closer
look at these developments suggests that there has been no great departure from
the pattern of the last few years.
