Are Drug Cartels Learning From Islamic Terrorist Groups?

Mexican drug cartels appear to be taking a page right out of the terrorist playbook in realizing that the easiest way to discredit your enemies is to impersonate them.

The revelation comes after Mexican marines found a secret workshop in the northern border city of Piedras, Negras, last week – just miles from Eagle Pass, Texas – stashed with hundreds of fake military uniforms as cartels are seemingly attempting to undermine the country’s military force by carrying out false flag attacks and other crimes in the name of Mexican authorities.

It’s a tactic that has long been used by radical, militant Islamist groups in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.

  1. It's a tactic cartels have been using for decades. Stories of it back to Escobars time. They'd set up fake check-points and take people hostage. They'd shoot up innocent civilians. It's nothing new.

  3. During previous wars - people caught impersonating soldiers and officials were executed as spies.

    If we do this publicly a few timesm the impersonation practice will stop....
