| Summary / Abstract (Note) | arco-violence has intensified in Mexico
since the early 2000s as a consequence
of the Mexican government's crackdown
on drug cartels. The spiral of violence has included
shootouts on the public squares of big cities
in broad daylight. A grenade attack on September
15, 2008, left eight dead and more than one
hundred injured on the central square in Morelia
(the capital of the state of Michoacán), on a night
Mexicans were celebrating the 198th anniversary
of their country's independence. |
