High-ranking police, prosecutors and judges have been slain across Mexico this year, while assassins have massacred hundreds of rank-and-file police and soldiers. Although cartel hitmen traditionally kill their targets with firearms, they have lately grown increasingly sophisticated and ruthless - drug gangs are alleged to be behind a bomb that exploded in Mexico City in February and grenades that were thrown into a crowded plaza in September...
