Mexico
drug lord captures change but don't lower trafficking
It's
another big score for the Mexican government, which has been tearing through
its list of most-wanted drug lords in recent years.
Still,
no one expects drug trafficking or violence to decrease after the capture of
Servando "La Tuta" Gomez, a former grade-school teacher whose Knights
Templar cartel once terrorized the western state of Michoacan.
Crime
will only shift around as the now weakened cartel regroups, or even splinters,
as has happened with some of Mexico's drug gangs after the killings or capture
of top leaders. Others continue business as usual after top leadership hits.
