Mexican Cartels Use Suicide Drones In Territory Wars
Weaponized drones are often deployed by modern militaries, but now appear to have been adopted by Mexican gangs.
In the battle for territory in Guanajuato, Mexico, police seized a kamikaze drone packed with explosives, as well as a remote detonator and a gun. Four suspected gang members believed to be linked to a Mexican drug cartel were arrested.
The explosives, which were strapped to the drone, can only be sourced from the military. Questions remain as to how the suspected gang members got access to those explosives.
