This morning, numerous narco-blockades and terrorist attacks erupted initially in Jalisco, specifically Tapalpa and near Guadalajara and Zapopan. Then, violence occurred in Puerto Vallarta, and across the country including Reynosa, Zacatecas and Guanajuato.<\/p>\n

The large scale retaliatory attacks is believed to have been in response to a large Mexican Army operation against “El Mencho.” Now, according to officials contacted by Milenio, that operation resulted in the death of the longtime CJNG leader Nemesio Rub\u00e9n Oseguera Cervantes.<\/p>\n
