Looking forward to hearing how this will turn out...

"Commadante Pareja" used to be a cell leader for Los Zetas but he switched sides to the Gulf Cartel and maybe that's why they want him so bad, both "Pareja" and "Guero" Valero are heating up Saltillo right now. The Zetas are both being hit right now by the military and the Gulf Cartel, that's why they are forcing Central American immigrants to join Los Zetas as gunmen. In Monterrey even teenagers are joining Los Zetas as gunmen, that's how desperate they are getting.

Maybe it's the beginning of the end.

Yeah maybe, the Zetas are being hit kinda hard right now by both the military and the Gulf Cartel but honestly I don't think the Gulf Cartel can push out the Zetas out of Monterrey honestly. They (Zetas) still have support from the local law enforcement but south of the city seems like they are loosing it to the Gulf Cartel.

"Shortly Before 6:00 PM, an armed group attacks carried out in the city of Saltillo, Coahuila, although the situation so far has Remained tight.

Strangers arrived at the premises of the City Hall and threw two grenades, so far it is unknown who caused the damages.

Then they threw another explosive device in a stand of the Municipal Police station located west of the city."

The Gulf Cartel continues to heat up the plaza of Saltillo.

HermitKermit do you know approximately how many soldiers do the cartels have at any given time?

It varies Tyler_Durned but a typical shoot out between rival cartels comprise about 6 or so cartel soldiers on each side but then you see 21 dead in a single shootout between the cartels or you hear about the military killing 9 cartel soldiers and only having 2 soldiers injured etc. There are several reports saying of 40 suvs full of cartel gunmen going towards the state of Tamulipas. "El Muletas" himself had 200 gunmen divided into 10 gunmen in each "sicario"(soldier) cell, his best killers had "FEZ" initials on on their body armor. ("FEZ" or "Fuerzas Especiales del Muletas"/"Muleta's Special Forces").

Aftermath from a shootout between rival groups.


Death Toll so far:
