Answer
Mexican drug cartels have displaced Colombians in many ways to enter the U.S. market is more practical and useful to do, through Mexico, than another country. The latest report we have, is that over 60% of Mexico, is under the control of these cartels, the Zetas, have become a private armed force, well prepared, with first-world logistics to dominate the drug trade.

What President Calderon of Mexico does, is' the only sensible thing he can do for now. What he has accomplished is to keep embattled Mexican drug cartels, with unconditional support of the U.S. Government. The reality is a long and bloody battle. Many more will die before defeating these criminals or stop drug trafficking. Ok.

Guatemala: Massacre work of Mexico drug gang Zetas what are your thoughts?

Johnny

SAN BENITO, Guatemala â One of Guatemala's worst massacres since the end of the country's decades-long civil war was the work of the brutal Mexican drug cartel the Zetas, Guatemalan officials said Monday.

The gang's violent signature could be seen in the manner and style in which the 29 bodies were found: bound, beheaded and strewn across a grassy field near their cut-off heads, said Guatemalan Interior Minister Carlos Menocal.

Two children and two women were among the dead, most of whom worked on the dairy ranch where the bodies were found, according to Luis Armando Garcia, 23, a survivor of the bloodbath, who talked to The Associated Press in the hospital in San Benito.

"I don't know how I survived," Armando Garcia said. He said he lay bound in the grass and pretended he was dead during the late Saturday attack until police arrived early the next morning.

A message written in blood on one of the ranch building's walls said the killers were looking for ranch owner Otto Salguero. Menocal said authorities were trying to find out more about Salguero, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Armando Garcia had worked only a month at the ranch in the rural northern province of Peten, a jungle region that has long been a popular transport route for drugs moving north from South America. Garcia said he didn't know Salguero, but said the ranch produced milk and cheese in the township of La Libertad near the Mexican border.

A large group of armed men showed up late Saturday and rounded up the workers, he said. He was bound like the others and suffered machete wounds.

The killers didn't identify themselves but said they would be back, Garcia said.

President Alvaro Colom arrived in Peten on Monday and planned to tour the massacre site, which is a collection of abandoned-looking buildings and corrals set in a green valley.

Last December, Colom launched a two-month-long military state of siege in neighboring Alta Verapaz province in an attempt to reclaim cities taken over by the Zetas. The gang was founded by ex-soldiers who worked as hit men for Mexico's Gulf drug cartel before breaking off on their own and becoming one of Mexico's most violent organized crime groups.

The Zetas are blamed for two recent mass killings in Mexico: 183 bodies found in mass graves last month and a massacre of 72 migrants last August, both in the state of Tamaulipas bordering Texas.

Police are investigating whether the attack on the ranch is related to the killing Saturday of Haroldo Leon, the brother of alleged Guatemalan drug boss Juan Jose "Juancho" Leon.

Answer
The Guatemalan government has a history of committing massacres. I can't say I trust their investigation.
