Mexican drug traffickers pose the biggest organised crime threat to the US, a justice department report says.

Most of the cocaine available in the US is smuggled via the US-Mexican border, while Mexican drug traffickers control most of the US drug market.

Mexican smugglers are also working increasingly with US-based gangs.

But the report says factors including increased border security and inter-cartel violence in Mexico have hit the cocaine supply in some areas.

7. Hyperbole aside, Juarez is a real mess.

More people murdered there every year than died on 9-11.

And the War on Drugs is to blame.
