Mexico is supported by the United States in this conflict through the Mérida Initiative.
On August 25, 2011, members of drug cartel Los Zetas set a casino on fire in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, killing 52 people.[1][2]
The arson attack left over a dozen injured, and over 35 trapped for several hours before the Mexican forces arrived at the place minutes after the incident.[3] Media reports state the majority of those killed were women,[4] including one who was pregnant.[5] Although the government crackdown of the drug cartels dates back to 2006,[6] Monterrey became an increasingly violent city in 2010,[7] due to the rupture of the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas.[8]
Surveillance footage shows vehicles with armed gunmen arriving at the entrance of Casino Royale.[9] After the gunmen descended from their vehicles, they stormed the casino's main entrance, opened fire on guests, and doused the casino entrances with gasoline and started a fire that trapped people inside.[10] The attack was classified as the most violent and bloodiest in the history of Monterrey and one of the worst in the state of Nuevo León.[11]
