Mexican cartel announces 1-month truce - Yahoo! News

Mexican cartel announces 1-month truce - Yahoo! News: "MORELIA, Mexico – A letter purportedly signed by La Familia drug cartel announcing a one-month truce circulated Sunday in the western state of Michoacan.

In the one-page message, distributed by e-mail and in some cities door by door, the gang claims it will halt all crime activity during January to demonstrate that the cartel 'is not responsible for the criminal acts federal authorities are reporting to the media.'

Prosecutors have not verified the letter's authenticity, according to an employee of the Michoacan bureau of the federal Attorney General's Office who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss the matter publicly."
