The “drug cartels” in Mexico seem more and more like a insurgency everyday:

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican police carried out the controlled detonation of a car bomb Saturday in the troubled border city of Ciudad Juarez, across from Texas.

A phone tip around midnight led authorities to a dead body in a car in a shopping center parking lot, the federal Public Safety Department said in a statement. In a second car, police found the bomb.

Agents deactivated the device and removed most of the explosive material to analyze it before safely detonating the vehicle, the department said. There were no injuries.

Juarez is the same city where drug traffickers staged the first successful car bombing in Mexico, killing three people in July.

Meanwhile police in Jalisco have caught cartel paramilitary members with four kilos of c-4 explosives.

But, you know, if we just legalize pot they’ll all go work at a supermarket or something.
