Drug cartels are wreaking havoc in the Michoacan state of Mexico. The government has deployed 1,200 more troops to contain the widespread violence.
Drug cartels have returned to western Mexico to extort lime farmers and run protection rackets.
State prosecutors said three convenience stores and five trucks and cars had been set afire, a tactic often used by drug cartels in the state to block roads and enforce extortion demands. Prosecutors said three men and three youths aged 16 and 17 were arrested in the attacks. Soldiers are stationed in every Mexican state, but the army did not say how many already were in Michoacan before the weekend deployment.
