Jorge Domene Zambrano, a spokesman for security forces in Nuevo León, says there are at least four thousand members of Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel, rival groups who daily struggle for control. He said authorities are certain at least half of municipal and state police are on the cartel payroll. He spoke of Monterrey, once considered one of the safer and more productive cities, but now everything is different. "It is very easy to explain, our President declared war on these guys. That's why you see the Army, Marines and Federal Police on the streets. States were not ready for that.â€
