As Breitbart Texas has previously reported, the Vieja Escuela faction of the Los Zetas cartel has been waging war on another Los Zetas faction called Cartel Del Noreste over lucrative drug trafficking territories and routes into the U.S. southern border. The fighting between the rival cartel factions has led to almost daily kidnappings, gun battles, beheadings, dismemberments, and other gory executions.
