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.

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.
