No truce for Mexican gangs
The Mexican government has rejected a possible truce with the country's drug cartels and it has pledged to bring these criminals to justice.
Mexico's federal security spokesman Alejandro Poire told the Associated Press there will be no armistice for these individuals, with authorities determined to dismantle these criminal organisations a piece at a time if need be.
"Peace is going to be achieved by bringing the criminals to justice … their thinking will not be influenced by appealing to their interests by calling on them to change their ways, but by giving them no choice but to submit to the law," he commented.
Meanwhile, local publication the Tucson Sentinel recently reported a number of suspected gang members were arrested after trying to smuggle 32 pounds of marijuana across the US-Mexico border.
The two individuals were captured by Customs and Border Protection agents after attempting to flee from the authorities.
