SEATTLE - Following the recent arrest of two high-profile Mexican drug lords, a Virginia-based private security firm is urging Americans traveling to Mexico in the next few days to be cautious and monitor trusted sources to avoid any getting caught up in a violent flare-up. Mexican government officials at the border state of Chihuahua also raised concerns over possible violence and are preparing for a "worst-case scenario," said Public Safety Director Gilberto Loya on July 29. "Why prepare? Because it is not clear what happened. There could be a different response from criminal groups if it was a surrender or a betrayal between cells of the same cartel," Loya added.
