Colombias President Juan Manuel Santos would like Farc to disband now that their leader has been killed.
they probably will not and they probably had a second in command who is now the top dog in the militant group.
As usual, Too much money is to be made from the drug wars to stop dealing.

The top leader of Colombia's main rebel group, the bookish ideologue Alfonso Cano, was killed Friday in a military bombing attack in the country's southwest, authorities said.
"The fingerprints matched," said one senior security official who confirmed the death, adding that Cano was killed in "a standard military operation" in Cauca state. The official spoke on condition he not be further identified.
Cano, the 53-year-old head of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, had been the top target of Colombian authorities since September 2010, when they killed the insurgency's military chief, Mono Jojoy, also in a bombing raid.

Mexico Arrests Trafficker Accused of 600 Killings
Good news for the mexican people , but how many more like him are out there?
600 people is just a fraction of the 45,000 killed in Mexico since this has all began !
To make a difference the Mexican military will have to do a little better.
Foxnews
Mexican police arrested the suspected leader of a brutal drug gang called "The Hand with Eyes" and he has confessed to helping carry out or ordering more than 600 murders, authorities said Thursday.
Oscar Osvaldo Garcia Montoya, 36, was arrested in an overnight raid on a presumed safe house on the outskirts of Mexico City, State of Mexico Attorney General Alfredo Castillo said at a news conference.
"The Hand with Eyes" is one of the groups blamed for bringing the drug violence typical of northern Mexico to Mexico City and its surrounding areas.
The organization is known for extreme violence, including decapitations. Many of its victims have been drug dealers and rivals killed as the group fought for control of drug sales in Mexico state, an area that includes many of the poor suburbs ringing the capital.
Castillo said Garcia is a deserter from the Mexican marines who worked as a bodyguard for major cartel figures including Edgar Valdez, aka "La Barbie," a top assassin for the Beltran Leyva cartel until he was arrested in 2010.

Mexico town's police force quits after attack
I would quit too, death is not worth a few pesos a day.
Associated press
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — An entire 20-man police force resigned in a northern Mexican town after a series of attacks that killed the police chief and five officers over the last three months, state officials said Thursday.
The officers' resignation Thursday left the 13,000 people of Ascension without local police services, Chihuahua state chief prosecutor Carlos Manuel Salas said. State and federal police have moved in to take over police work, he said.
The mass resignation appeared to be connected to a Tuesday attack by gunmen that killed three of the town's officers, Salas said.
But it wasn't the first deadly attack on the police department this year.
In mid-May, police chief Manuel Martinez, who had been in office just seven months, was gunned down with two other officers on a nearby highway. The three had been kidnapped a day before police found their bodies riddled with bullets in the back seat of a sedan.

Mexico homicides rose 23 percent in 2010
24,374 murders in Mexico last year according to the Somewhat official number, the number is probably higher; Mexico suffers from serious under reporting of incidents and how things really happen south of our border.
24,374 + 19,000 = 43,374, gee, that is a lot more than the 35,000 overall since 2006 that they keep saying, a safe bet to say well over 50,000 have been murdered in the 4 or 5 years of drug wars in Mexico.
I can't wait for the 2011 report.
Start making your vacation plans now.
El Paso Times
MEXICO CITY (AP) - The number of homicides in Mexico rose by nearly a quarter in 2010 compared to the year before as the drug war intensified across the country, Mexican statisticians said Thursday.
The National Institute of Statistics and Geography recorded 24,374 homicides over the course of last year, a 23 percent increase from 19,803 in 2009. Last year's figure represented 22 killings for every 100,000 residents in the country.
Many but not all of the homicides were committed by organized crime organizations, the institute told The Associated Press.
Violence has risen in many Mexican regions as a result of drug trafficking and other organized criminal activity. President Felipe Calderon's office has said that more than 15,000
According to the statistics institute, the U.S.-bordering state of Chihuahua saw the highest number of homicides with 4,747. Sinaloa, in northwestern Mexico, registered 2,505.

Mexico gang shootout in Nayarit state kills 28
And another country I will never go too.
I used to go to Tijuana when i was in High School, you had to watch your step but the worst that would happen was you might get in a fight, or the federalis would arrest you for being to drunk.(the drinking age was 16, Tijauna Tillys never carded though).
Now you have to worry about shootouts, kidnappings, being killed, what a mess down there.
another mass grave was found last week I have not heard a final total yet but something over a hundred bodies I believe.
Nearly 40,000 have been killed in Mexico now.
BBC
A shootout between rival Mexican gangs has left at least 28 people dead, officials say.
The gunfight took place at a crossroads near Ruiz in the Pacific coast state of Nayarit, some 800km (500 miles) north-west of Mexico City.
Police found 28 men dead and four wounded when they reached the scene, which was littered with bullet shells.
In Michoacan state, drug gang violence has forced more than 1,000 people to flee their villages, officials say.

Cartel Violence Deterring U.S. Businesses From Opening in Mexico
Huh! But the Napolitano says all is good on the Border and everywhere else in Meixco, And The Obamasiah Agrees!
I don't know why any one is bothered but beheadings and rampant murder and kidnappings, they all must be racist!
Foxnews
MCALLEN, Texas – Dozens of Mattel Inc. employees were on their way to another day of work making Power Wheels in Mexico's industrial heartland when gunshots erupted around them and a grenade ripped into one of their buses, killing one worker and wounding five.
The battle between drug traffickers and the army near the city of Monterrey last week was the sort of violence that is frightening U.S. companies away from new investments south of the border, where organized criminals are increasingly turning to kidnappings, extortion and cargo thefts despite a government offensive against drug cartels.
"These acts of violence are not happening in a vacuum; they're happening in the street that could be right out in front of your building. Bullets get shot and they have to stop somewhere," said Dan Burges, a senior director at Freightwatch Inc., an Austin-based cargo security firm.
As a result, only half of the U.S. firms surveyed recently by the U.S.-Mexico Chamber of Commerce said they would go ahead with new investment plans in Mexico and several companies, including Whirlpool Corp., have recently announced they would put new factories elsewhere citing concerns about safety.

The decapitated bodies of at least 25 men and two women have been found near Guatemala's border with Mexico.
The bodies were discovered on a ranch in Peten province, 500km (310 miles) north of the capital.
Police said the killings could be linked to a battle between drug gangs fighting for control of the area.
Mexican cartels are increasingly moving into northern Guatemala, an important transit point for drugs smuggled from South America to the US.
"This is the worst massacre we have seen in modern times," police spokesman Donald Gonzalez told Reuters.

National Guard troops to leave Mexico border in June
Why not it is safer than it has ever been Right?
So No problem ! Move along Sheeple.
USA Today
WASHINGTON — National Guard troops that have helped beef up security along the southwestern border since last summer will leave as planned by the second week of June, the commander of the Arizona Guard told a House panel Tuesday.
Maj. Gen. Hugo Salazar, adjutant general of the Guard in the state, said that the mission has gone well and that his troops have helped the Department of Homeland Security monitor the border and gather intelligence against the transnational crime cartels that smuggle drugs, weapons and cash across the border.
Matt Chandler, a spokesman for Homeland Security, said Tuesday that soldiers have helped seize over 14,000 pounds of drugs and apprehend 7,000 illegal immigrants. He said the southwestern border today has more enforcement manpower and technology than ever, much of which has been added while the National Guard has been assigned there.

Drug Catapult Found at U.S.-Mexico Border
A Medieval approach to drug smuggling.
Foxnews
Drug smugglers trying to get marijuana across the Arizona-Mexico border apparently are trying a new approach -- a catapult.
National Guard troops operating a remote video surveillance system at the Naco Border Patrol Station say they observed several people preparing a catapult and launching packages over the International Border fence last Friday evening.
"It looks like a medieval catapult that was used back in the day," Tucson sector Border Patrol spokesman David Jimarez told Reuters.
Tucson TV station KVOA said Border Patrol agents working with the National Guard contacted Mexican authorities, who went to the location and disrupted the catapult operation.

Mexican federal police interrupted a weekend massacre-in-the-making in a Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, motel and captured two hit men working for a major cartel in the city, a spokesman for the federal police told CNN Monday.
"We received an anonymous tip that these men were sequestering a group of 11 in a motel," federal police spokesman Ramon Salinas said. "We acted on the tip and were able to catch them in the act of a massacre at a motel party."
The men were planning to kill a group of 11 youths and managed to kill one of them before police arrived, according to Salinas, who described the 11 only as young people, without specifying ages or sexes.

About 140 inmates escape Mexican border prison
Mexico's Prison system is just worthless.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — About 140 inmates escaped Friday from a state prison in the northern Mexico border city of Nuevo Laredo, across the border from Laredo, Texas.
The federal Interior Department blamed the breakout on local authorities, saying they did not properly guard the facility.
"The absence of effective methods of guarding and control by local authorities is deplorable, and it has caused frequent escapes from prisons that put the public at risk," the department said in a statement.
It called on state authorities to clean up their prison and judicial systems by increased screening and vetting of corrections officers. In past cases, prison guards — often underpaid or under threat from gangs — have been implicated in prison escapes.
Federal police were dispatched to patrol the area, and roadblocks were set up to search for escaped prisoners.

Mexican drone crashes in Texas during test
The official did not know whether Mexican law enforcement or military officials were operating the aircraft, but said that the Mexican government was using it for surveillance of the border
Or maybe it is being used to help all those undocumented workers slip past the U.S. Border Patrol!
It's just a thought, You know.
What the hell is the Mexican government trying to keep their eyes on?
Nothing fancy here, I've seen better.

A small unmanned Mexican drone that crashed into a backyard in El Paso, Texas, was part of a surveillance test by Mexican authorities that ended abruptly when operators lost control of the aircraft, a U.S. security official told NBC News on Friday.
The Department of Homeland Security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the 7-foot-long Orbiter Mini UAV drone flew off course during the test on Tuesday, then veered into Texas airspace and crashed behind a house in El Paso's former agricultural area, where homes are typically built on 1-acre lots. No one was hurt.

Mexican drug war deaths surpass 30,100
Throughout the country, 12,456 people were killed in drug-related violence from January through November this year, he said, bringing the total number of deaths since December 2006 to 30,196, the state-run Notimex news agency reported.
On Tuesday the year's death tally in Ciudad Juarez reached 3,000 -- 10 times the number of annual killings that the border city counted just a few years ago.

Mexico City (CNN) -- More than 30,100 people have died in drug-related violence since Mexican President Felipe Calderon began a crackdown on cartels, the country's attorney general said.
Armed with statistics about what he described as a "significant transformation" in Mexico's fight against organized crime, Mexican Attorney General Arturo Chavez Chavez said the importance of restoring the rule of law throughout the country was the driving force behind Calderon's initiative, which started shortly after he took office in December 2006.
"What is very clear is that there is an important weakening of criminal structures. ... There is no criminal organization that can be even remotely superior to the force of the state," Chavez told reporters at a year-end meeting Thursday.

Gunbattle kills 11 in western Mexican town
Quotas? We don't need no stinking Quotas!

Foxnews
A gunbattle between rival gangs killed 11 people during a Virgin of Guadalupe celebration in a western Mexican town, authorities said Saturday.
Armed men arrived in three cars and opened fire on another group of gunmen in the main plaza of Tecalitlan just as a crowd was gathering Friday night, the Jalisco state attorney general's office said in a statement. One of the gunmen hurled a grenade.
Eight men were killed at the scene and two others died at a hospital, the office said.
Another man, the brother of one of those killed in the plaza, was found shot to death next to a car on the highway just outside the small town, the statement said.
Inside the car, which had been reported stolen, authorities found two banners. One read: "We haven't come to kill innocent people. We've come for El Zopilote." The other said: "We do not charge quotas."

Mexico busts gang targeting climate summit
The Mexican cartels are looking to step it up a bit.
A possible Kidnapping or just more murders, maybe a little of both.
either way the cartels seem like they want to enter the ring of international Terrorism.
(Reuters) - A gang of suspected kidnappers arrested by Mexican marines had detailed plans of security arrangements for next week's U.N. climate change talks in Cancun, Milenio newspaper reported Sunday.
The heavily armed men had maps, photographs of the Moon Palace hotel scheduled to host the event, as well as the location of police and army security checkpoints, the paper said on its website.
The men were arrested Saturday, the navy said in a statement. It did not mention any link to the Cancun climate meeting.
The website showed photographs of seven detainees flanked by masked, armed marines in front of a navy logo. On a table in front of the men were false federal police uniforms, weapons and ammunition.

Cavazos' wife was injured in the attack, but additional details were unavailable. Investigators have no motive for the crime, Diaz said.

Gunmen Kill 5, Wound 9 in Ciudad Juarez Bar
More than 4,000 people have been killed in Ciudad Juarez in drug-related violence in the last two years, giving the city one of the highest murder rates in the world.
Good reason to stay away from Mexico.
Better yet it's a good reason for the Government to defend and protect our border !
But you know, it is not seen as an issue. Move along Sheeple.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico -- Gunmen burst into a bar called "Desesperados" in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and opened fire on Sunday, killing five people and wounding nine others, authorities said.
Assailants also killed the state's prisons director and his son in a second attack in the area, which has turned into a deadly battleground for warring drug cartels.
Gunmen opened fire on the vehicle carrying Chihuahua prison director Gerardo Ortiz and his son in Chihuahua city, the state capital, located south of Ciudad Juarez. The state's prisons used to be the site of frequent battles between gangs, but deaths in such disputes had appeared to decline over the last year.

Mexico hunting 12-year-old drug gang hitman
A Twelve year old !
The Mexican cartels are truly ruthless, $3000 to off somebody ?
The AA (Artist Assassins) are a group of young kids that go around and not only point people out to the Cartels, but they also perform hits.
It's a messed up world.
(Reuters) - Soldiers are hunting a 12-year-old suspected drug gang hitman accused of helping wage a gruesome turf war in central Mexico, a state prosecutor and Mexican media said on Friday.
The boy, known only as "El Ponchis," is believed to be working for the South Pacific cartel in Morelos state, outside Mexico City, and is one of a group of young teenagers who have already committed "terrible acts," Morelos State Prosecutor Pedro Luis Benitez told local radio.
"These minors are still not fully developed and so it is easy to influence them, to give them a gun, pretending it is plastic, that it is a game."
Benitez did not name the boy or give more details, but when asked directly about the teenage hitmen he said: "They're persuaded to carry out terrible acts; they don't realize what they are doing," he added.
Mexican daily La Razon said the boy is being paid $3,000 for each murder and is under the command of a little-known drug lord who heads the South Pacific cartel fighting the Beltran Leyva and La Familia gangs for control in southwestern Mexico.
Benitez said soldiers this week arrested a teenage boy and a pregnant teenage girl also believed to be working for the South Pacific cartel.
