Mexican drug cartels are trying to buy high-powered weapons from military and police forces in Central America, according to El Salvador's defense minister, Gen. David Munguia.
Mexican officials have long said the most of the guns used by the cartels are
smuggled in from the United States. But Gen. Munguia warned Tuesday that the
Mexican gangs that have expanded into Central America are also trying to buy
weapons there.
"There is a real threat, that is true," Gen. Munguia told the local
television station Channel 33. "All the armies in Central America, the police
forces and municipal police, everyone who weapons, should be on alert and take
measures to avoid them being stolen."
"The Mexican cartels have set up a sort of rear guard for themselves in
Central America, a logistical base," Munguia said. "The cartels that operate in
southern Mexico and in Guatemala are trying to supply themselves with weapons in
the Central American area."
Officials in the region say Mexican cartels, and particularly the Zetas
cartel, have set up operations in Central America because they see it as a
valuable area for shipping and producing drugs.
On Monday, Salvadoran military intelligence agents caught a junior officer
who deserted the armed forces in December. He allegedly had three assault rifles
and uniforms that he was trying to sell to a civilian who officials believe was
trying to obtain the weapons for a drug gang, possible Mexico's Zetas
cartel.
"Some civilians wanted to buy weapons, and these civilians supply weapons to
some criminal groups in Guatemala," Munguia said. "We believe they are connected
to drug cartels, and the Zetas in particular."
The previous week, the army arrested two noncommissioned officers and four
soldiers who allegedly tried to steal and sell 1,812 grenades.
Munguia acknowledged that the cartels in northern Mexico, where most of that
country's drug-related violence is centered, continue to get their weapons from
the United States.
The U.S. government says many guns used by Mexican cartels are bought in the
United States.
