The "self-defence" groups have recently taken over a number of towns in their attempt to drive the Knights Templar drug cartel from the area. The government announced on Monday that the vigilantes would now be integrated into units called Rural Defence Corps.

Dionicio Loya Plancarte, known as El Tio (The Uncle), was one of the leaders of the Knights Templar drug cartel in western Michoacan state, officials say. The government had a 30m-peso ($2.2m; £1.3m) bounty on his head for drug and money-laundering crimes. Troops were deployed to Michoacan earlier this month after vigilantes clashed with gang members.[/quote] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-25921971[/url] Mexico seems well on her way to restoring stability now.
