Carjacking by cartel gunmen is routine in northern Mexico, where gangsters mobilize hit men in fleets of stolen SUVs and pick-ups. The assailants sometimes dress as police officers and move in official-looking vehicles. Earlier this week, Mexico's army released photos of "cloned" police (pictured) and army vehicles used by the cartels in Sonora state. (Photo by Mexican Defense Ministry/MCT/Sipa USA)
