April 17th, 2010

In this photo taken April 9, 2010, a copy of a letter allegedly delivered by Sinaloa drug cartel members to residents is seen in Praxedis, Valle de Juarez, Mexico. Hundreds of families are fleeing the cotton-farming towns of the Juarez Valley, a stretch of border 50 miles east of Ciudad Juarez. In a new strategy, Mexican drug cartels seeking to minimize interference with their operations are using terror to empty the entire area. (AP Photo/Guillermo Arias)AP - President Felipe Calderon insisted Friday that few innocent civilians have fallen victim to Mexico’s bloody drug war, saying nearly all those killed are people tied to cartels wrestling for power.
