More than two months since the eruption of the war between "Los Chapitos" and "La Mayiza," the two factions of the Sinaloa cartel, hundreds of people in northern Mexico have been reported missing while hundreds more have died in the ongoing clashes.
But according to reports from a specialized Mexican journalist that knows the ins and outs of how cartels operate, the clique loyal to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán and his sons is now targeting newly elected officials in Sinaloa who, her sources say, have direct links to Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.
