Watch: Mexican Drug Cartel Carpet Bombs Rivals With Drone
16th January 2022
A modified consumer drone was used in a bombing raid on a rival drug cartel in Mexico on Monday. Video from the cartel-operated drone shows several bombs were dropped on a rival camp in a new turf war.
According to the Spanish-language daily newspaper El Pais, the drone was operated by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and bombed a rival cartel in the state of Michoacan. At least one person was injured in the attack. The entire incident was caught on video.
There are two governments in Mexico: The formal government in Mexico City and the narco-state that extends along the border with the U.S. Back in the Good Old Days the U.S. government would move into that area and straighten it out. Nowadays … not so much.
