Why cellphone chats have become death sentences in cartel stronghold in Mexico

Summary

75% Informative

Residents of Culiacan , the capital of Sinaloa state, are afraid to leave home at night .

A new generation of younger, more flashy and cosmopolitan drug lords have taken over.

They fight with extreme violence, kidnapping and cellphone tracking - not the old kind of handshake deals.

The new tactics are reflected in a huge wave of armed carjackings in the area.

Last week , gunmen burst into a Culiacan hospital to kill a patient previously wounded by gunshots.

The government blames the United States for stirring up trouble by allowing the drug lords to turn themselves in, and to send in hundreds of army troops.

But irregular urban combat in the heart of a city of 1 million inhabitants - against a cartel that has lots of sniper rifles and machine guns - is not army's specialty.
