Baja Norte at Serious Risk
This report came out days before the American citizen was killed in Tijuana at a high visibility Taco shop in Tijuana:
MEXICO CITY, December 16 (EL UNIVERSAL) .- The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has been detected and reported to the Mexican government the possibility that drug cartels carry out acts of violence against federal forces, state and local and even against "civilian targets".
According to an internal report by the DEA, organized crime has planned attacks on targets such as shopping malls, bridges and public transportation stations such as Metro and bus terminals, as well as events to celebrate mass for parties of the time but does not specify whether organizations in particular have reason to run.
The attacks, according to the DEA, could happen in Michoacan, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Durango, Zacatecas and even the Federal District.
A Justice Department source, that can not be identified because he was not authorized to speak on the subject, said the grenade attacks that have suffered in recent days police stations in some states are part of this escalation of violence on the who have warned the government of Mexico.
Since early December, organizations such as Los Zetas have attacked with gunfire and grenades, police headquarters and places associated with the federal forces in Guanajuato, Guerrero, Sonora, Chihuahua and Michoacan recently. There have also been attacks on shops and a bus passenger.
Last week in an interview with El Universal, Antonio L. Mazzitelli, regional representative of the Units Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, said that Mexico's drug cartels have turned to terrorism as a way to force the civilian population, particularly to the authorities, to reach agreements .
The UN representative said the indiscriminate terrorism is a symptom of the weakness of the crime, "it probably would indicate that results are being achieved (in the fight antinarco).
Warning light
In this regard, the DEA has asked the staff of the U.S. Embassy to limit their movements and stay away from crowded areas, and elsewhere in Michoacan that previously have been attacked by drug cartels.
The Agency's report highlights the threat at the moment Sinaloa cartels, La Familia Michoacana, Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel, and points to Army installations and police in Ciudad Juarez, Uruapan, Lázaro Cárdenas, Apatzingán , Mexico City, Tijuana and other places where organized crime has bases as targets of criminal groups.
The DEA report makes mention of a warning he made to the government of Mexico on 1 January, where the Zetas were involved, and referred to terrorist groups associated with the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas entering through Guatemala to the United States.
Pitfalls
The Agency raises possible attacks and increasing violence from the cartels from December to February 2010, as a threat to the government of Mexico and the United States.
In the first three years of the current Mexican government have killed 15 thousand 500 people in connection with the war on drugs, and there have been attacks against military and federal police.
Additionally, since cartels six months ago adopted a new strategy to counter larger, or "high impact".

DODGE RAM Heavy Duty Wins Truck Of The Year!
RAM Heavy Duty Defeats Ford Raptor!
"Chrysler Group's Dodge Ram Heavy Duty won Motor Trend magazine's coveted "Truck of the Year" award in a unanimous vote, the magazine announced Thursday.
"Much of what is so impressive about the Ram Heavy Duty is not only how easily it does all the tasks it's built for, but also how easy it is on the driver," Angus MacKenzie, Motor Trend editor-in-chief, said in a statement. "The Ram is quieter, more comfortable and people-friendly than before without sacrificing its considerable capability."
The award was open to pick-ups and vans that were all-new or substantially redesigned in the past year. Besides the Ram Heavy Duty, the three other contenders for this year's award were the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, which is a high-performance off-road truck, the Ford Transit Connect, a small commercial cargo van, and the Toyota Tundra 4.6-liter truck.
The Ram Heavy Duty, unlike the more familiar Dodge Ram 1500, is built strictly for work and isn't intended as a vehicle someone might drive for personal use. It has a 17,500 towing capacity and is available with a powerful diesel engine."
