Control of U.S. territory by foreign criminals

Growing efforts by Mexican narcotics cartels to gain political control over regions where they dominate trafficking has led to violence in many parts of Mexico, especially in the Mexican border cities and along major shipping routes.

The document, acquired by a well-placed US source, threatens...
