The initial ones arrested identified other cartel members by the car they were driving in Rosarito. More drugs were seized from the identified car. When subjects in another vehicle tried to bribe the military to release those arrested, a search found marijuana and an AK 47 in the trunk.

Customs ignores illegal trafficking of gasoline
(Chiapas) Daily hundreds of liters of gasoline are smuggled from Mexico to Guatemala. Where once the smugglers did this in secret, now, no one hides from authorities and do the trafficking openly. The retailers say their business is to sell, and since no authorities bother the traffickers, neither will they. For many people, this is their ‘job’ and only source of income.

El Salvador and Mexico agree on sharing info in cartel fight
(San Salvador) The Attorney General of El Salvador and Mexico Attorney General (PGR) have agreed to share information to strengthen the two countries fight against crime and organized crime, the local press reported. It is reported “the two officials agreed on the need to strengthen the exchange of information directly, safely and expeditiously…with “the use of the services offered by new technologies, including sending encrypted messages and documents, video and use of other specific networks” to facilitate the exchange of information. Salvadoran authorities, led by President Mauricio Funes, have complained that the criminal group Los Zetas, former Mexican arm of the Gulf cartel and trained in military tactics, already operates in Guatemala (which has just reimposed martial law-called siege-in northern Guatemala) and Honduras and has come to this country to “explore.”
