Pacting

About a year and a half after the last major pact between the Gulf and Sinaloa Cartels was completed, Excelsior is reporting that high-level representatives of the two groups met in a Mexico City restaurant on October 1st. The meeting took place 300 yards from the national headquarters of the Secretariat of Public Security. An impromptu operation arrived too late to capture either Antonio Cárdenas or Ignacio Coronel, or anyone else. Excelsior didn't mention if anything was hammered out, but the last such pact did lead to a temporary drop in violence.
