The leadership of the Los Zetas Cartel, the largest and most powerful cartel in Mexico, comes almost exclusively from special forces and intelligence backgrounds.
According to a number of leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel that have been charged in US courts, the CIA has been providing material support and training to The Sinaloas since 2008 in an attempt to offset explosive growth of the Zetas.
- Crito 13y agoLos Zetas are hardly famous for a subtle approach. Are they actually operating like intelligence agencies? It seems to me that even if they have the knowledge, they don't think it is worth the effort in practice.
- pkinsky 13y agoLos Zetas have built a country-spanning network of radio repeaters using kidnapped engineers. They are clearly cognizant of information security. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/11/zeta-radio/ http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/11/zeta-radio/
