InSight Crime has done an OUTSTANDING job on producing a 3 part series on understanding the current narco-business culture in Columbia which revolves around a connection between the Countries Elite Families and Personalities and the the Country’s most Notorious Drug Lords.
As the Mexican Cartels partner more and more with Columbian Narco’s, America (and specifically the Southern Border States) will soon be faced with a repeat of the bloody 1980’s when Pablo Escobar left a trail of dismembered corpses from Medellin to Miami, except this time the trail will stretch from Sinaloa to El Paso.

“They cut my fingers off for being a thief,” the tattoo on the forehead of a suspected criminal explained. Information obtained by this outlet points to the victim being connected to a series of burglaries in the city. His kidnapping and torture appear to be a “lesson” on behalf of cartel members. The objective of the strategy is to create terror among common criminals to keep them from “heating up the plaza” or calling attention to the region with petty crime.
During the last 45 days, the security strategy that has been taking place in this city has been run by the Gulf Cartel. Gunmen with the criminal organization have spread the word among common criminals that those who target innocent civilians will be mutilated, punished or murdered.

As drug-trafficking-related violence in Mexico raged, the cartels came up with a radical solution for improving their capabilities in face-offs with other criminal groups and Mexican security services.
Narco tanks are homemade armored vehicles, also known in Spanish as “monstruo” for their hulking size. They reached peak popularity in 2011 as the Mexican military seized a garage from the Zetas drug-trafficking organization that was being used to construct the vehicles. At that point, criminal gangs could operate military-like vehicles out in the open with apparent impunity.
The Mexican military’s subsequent crackdown on the creation of monstrous forced the practice even further underground. Narco tanks are still produced, but today’s versions have their armored paneling on the inside so as to not draw unwanted attention from rival cartels and the military.
In January, Mexican authorities surrounded the hideout of notorious drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán during the Black Swan operation, the raid that eventually led to Guzmán’srecapture.
Mexican marines confiscated weapons and two narco tanks from Guzmán’s hideout.
Below is a breakdown of the various features that made narco tanks into seemingly impregnable, drug-running beasts.
