| Zetas In El Salvador Forming Alliance With MS-13 |
| 2010-04-21 |
| El Salvadoran officials are worried that a Mexican drug trafficking organization may be forming an alliance with a feared Central American gang. Mexico's El Universal newspaper is reporting that members of the Zetas are in El Salvador where they may be working on an alliance with the Mara Salvatrucha gang. El Salvador's President Mauricio Funes told reporters the Zetas are believed to be in his country and working on forming the alliance. El Universal reported that the Zetas and other Mexican drug trafficking organizations are vying for control of cocaine smuggling routes through Central America. |

| #4 This is an unholy alliance. Wouldn't it be interesting if some group like the Zetas with similiar skill sets were set up as a "Trojan Horse" group who just started taking out the leadership of these cartels--one by one. Oh well, enough of that fantasy for today. It was enjoyable for a moment while it lasted. |

| #2 If i was in the cartel business I would be pretty worried by the zetas. Mad bunch of ex mil types trained in counter insurgency. Small but have the skill sets to seriously unbalance things , as gorb points out , they just want ms13 to stand by whilst they do their thing , prolly split territory and profits .. 5 years from now , i expect them to turn on ms13 too , then the fun will really start eh ? |

| #1 Quick, let's offer any MS-13 gang members amnesty so as not to upset them so they will settle down and live quiet lives. |
