MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) - A motel in northern Mexico is putting steel doors on its rooms to protect guests from kidnappings and shootings in an escalating war between rival drug cartels.

At least 70 people have been killed in drug violence this year in Monterrey (гуглмап) as a coalition of cartels run by Mexico's most wanted man, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, vies for control of smuggling routes run by the Gulf Cartel near Texas.

Nationwide, some 1,000 people have died in drug-related killings this year and a military-backed assault on the gangs that smuggle narcotics into the United States has so far been unable to stop the violence.

А счастье было так близко, так возможно ([1], [2]).

Кстати, непонятная структура в центре Монтеррея на десятки кварталов: вид со спутника. Кладбище? Ряды горшков с марихуаной?
