Mexico’s Colombianization’
Two feuding kingpins of a leading Mexican drug cartel are now in custody. Mexican marines captured the man known as �El Grande� this past weekend. They nabbed his rival, dubbed �La Barbie,” last month. Both were lieutenants in the Beltran Leyva cartel. The drug violence in Mexico has given birth to a new buzz word: �Colombianization.� We get that story from reporter John Otis in Bogota.
