Border region lives in fear amid Mexico cartel war
By Michael Deibert (AFP) - 8 hours ago

MATAMOROS, Mexico - ...

This part of Mexico was once a booming hub for cross-border trade between
the country and the United States -- which operates hundreds of low-wage
factories on the Mexican side.

the city's indigenous Gulf Cartel, their former partners known as Los Zetas
and the elements of government power that have not been bought or bullied
into the drug traffickers' service.
