Los Zetas (Spanish for "The Z's") is a powerful and violent drug cartel originating in Mexico. The group is considered by the United States government to be the "most technologically advanced, sophisticated, and dangerous cartel operating in Mexico".[1]
The origins of Los Zetas date back to the late 1990s when a group of Mexican Army commandos deserted their ranks and decided to work as the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel, a major drug trafficking organization. In February 2010, Los Zetas broke away from their former employer and formed their own criminal cartel.
