Within hours of the killing of Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, better known as El Mencho, in a military raid on Feb 22, gunmen suspected to be his supporters blocked highways across several states and set cars and businesses ablaze.
In some towns, tourists and residents were urged to stay indoors, while truckers were advised to take safe routes or return to their depots until the violence abated.
