*2013: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/07/28/mexico-drug-war/2594953/ Mexico's navy vice admiral killed in ambush


The navy is considered the most successful Mexican force in the drug war, with marines proving to be the best trained and least corruptible. Marines killed the head of the Beltran Leyva cartel in the city of Cuernavaca in 2009 and captured Zetas cartel leader Miguel Angel Trevino near the U.S.-Mexico border two weeks ago.


Navy officers have rarely been targeted by the gangs despite clearly setting their eyes on drug criminals. In August 2011, nine Mexican marines were abducted.
Other top officials have died, such as Edgar Millan, who was the acting head of the police before he was gunned down in 2008 inside his Mexico City home, possibly in retaliation for investigating drug trafficking at the airport.
The government has tried to bring down homicides related to drug fights, and recently scored a victory with the capture of Trevino, who was feared by many for the Zetas' brutal killings of migrants and scary tactics on foes. But the fight in Michoacan is heating up and proving to be President Enrique Pena Nieto's main security challenge.
Since Tuesday, gunmen apparently working for the Knights Templar cartel have been staging a series of attacks on federal police convoys, killing at least four officers and wounding five others. The death toll from the clashes also included 20 gunmen. Authorities said gunmen have hijacked trucks and buses to block highways before making their attacks.
Pena Nieto sent thousands of troops and federal police to the area two months ago because of a surge in violence stemming from a reported fight between the Knights Templar and a gang called the New Generation, based in neighboring Jalisco state. Vigilante groups have also been sprouting up this year, and regular citizens have staged demonstrations demanding more protection.
