The Political Junkie: Drug Cartel Takes over Smuggling Routes to U.S.

The Political Junkie: Drug Cartel Takes over Smuggling Routes to U.S.: "After a two-year battle that has killed more than 5,000 people, Mexico's most powerful kingpin now controls the coveted trafficking routes through Ciudad Juarez. That conclusion by U.S. intelligence adds to evidence that Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman's Sinaloa cartel is winning Mexico's drug war. The agent told The Associated Press those sources have led U.S. authorities to believe that the Sinaloa cartel has edged out the rival Juarez gang for control over trafficking routes through Ciudad Juarez, ground zero in the drug war. 'If you control the city (Ciudad Juarez), you control the drugs,' the federal agent said."
