MEXICO CITY, Nov. 5 (El Universal). - The strategy to eliminate the leaders of the cartels has caused more violence due to infighting in organizations over position a next boss. There requires a comprehensive approach to fight, as drug traffic will remain despite the killings or detention of all possible bosses, said Tony Payan, a visiting researcher at the James A. Baker III Institute at Rice University.
Payan's analysis indicates that drug lords are as always targeting profit., its members are dispersed sometimes among whole families, so the anti-cartel strategy must consider the entire chain, from production to consumption.
The intelligence services in Mexico and the United States have identified a significant number of drug lords, who are on the list of most wanted, and most of the combat strategy has focused on them, 32 of which have been arrested by the Mexican government.
"The question is whether to attack drug barons. Is it an effective strategy in the war against drugs. The answer is yes, but it can not by itself end the war, it is just one component, "he said.
Capturing weakens the organizations leadership , but "in Mexico learned that lieutenants often arrange family members or others to assume business, or sometimes newer, lower members in the hierarchy challenge "assumed leaders", this strategy of going after the kingpins costs many lives because members of the cartels will often compete for power within the group, and frequently, causes horrific bloody scenes as the cartel resets its leadership," he said.
