Drug War Whack-a-mole: Mexico cites breakdown in La Familia cartel

Another "yeah, sure!" La Familia controls the meth market in the U.S. and billions of dollars.

Mexico cites breakdown in La Familia cartel- AP/Las Vegas Sun: "Mexico's federal police say the once-fearsome La Familia drug cartel has been 'completely dismembered' and has broken down into small groups that commit robberies to pay their members.

Federal police official Luis Cardenas Palomino says that the breakdown of the organization was hastened by the Dec. 9 death of cartel leader Nazario Moreno, nicknamed 'The Craziest One'.

He says the remaining groups are 'completely disorganized.' Cardenas made the comments Friday at a news conference announcing the arrest of the leader of one of the remaining groups, a man known as 'The Mustache.'" Dec. 31, 2010
