Thread: Mexico drug cartels 'close ranks' against rival

Mexico's authorities say that two of the country's most powerful drugs cartels have overcome their rivalry to form an alliance against a third.

Ramon Pequeno, head of the Mexican anti-narcotics police, said the Gulf and La Familia cartels were now fighting a group called the Zetas.

They are fighting over a lucrative drug transit point on the US border.
