Tagged: crime, Felipe Calderón, gangs, Mexico
Mexico just keeps getting deadlier.
Even as President Felipe Calderón dispatched more than 24,000 military and security forces to pacify areas overrun by drug gangs, the country saw more than 2,500 deaths related to the drug trade in 2007.

On Monday, officials announced the arrest of one of Mexico’s top operatives, a suspected leader of the infamous Sinaloa cartel.”*
