Violence in Mexico could threaten U.S. oil imports?
WASHINGTON — When saboteurs blew up several natural-gas pipelines in central Mexico this month, temporarily shutting down production for U.S. automakers and other important manufacturers, a small and shadowy Marxist guerrilla group called the Popular Revolutionary Army reportedly claimed responsibility.
Four explosions in the Bajio, a central region that’s both the stronghold of the ruling conservative National Action Party and a big manufacturing zone, disrupted the flow of natural gas between Mexico City and Guadalajara, the country’s two biggest cities, and paralyzed pipelines in Veracruz and Guanajuato states.
General Motors and Nissan are said to have lost millions of dollars in production at their plants in the region.

Question – What are your thoughts ?
Such things need to be watched closely.
The truly difficult thing to do will be to try and make the Mexican government care enough to do something about it.
