The battles climaxed Tuesday with seven assaults against army positions that left 18 attackers dead across Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas.
The first came when gunmen ambushed soldiers on patrol between Matamoros and the border city of Reynosa, across from McAllen, Texas. An hour later, cartel gunmen used trucks and cars to blockade a garrison in Matamoros and the main army base in Reynosa.
Troops were ambushed six more times throughout the region, including once in Reynosa when soldiers rushed to check reports of another blockade near the offices of Mexico's state oil company. In each of the two deadliest battles, five gunmen were killed.

What is most interesting is that the Mexican government has requested assistance from all branches of the U.S. to assist and terminate all and any future attacks from the cartels. We can openly see that Mexico is simply unable to stop let alone use its forces to stop or contain the drug problem.
In short, most of the citizens living on or around the Mexican border are going to report more and more drones. This is but the first step as intelligence needs to be gathered as the intelligence given by the Mexican authorities is deemed as not sufficient or comprised. So i would suggest to any members who reside near the border to have a digital cam handy as its going to be an exciting year and years to come.
