Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has partially blamed the United States for the recent surge in cartel violence in Sinaloa, which has left at least 30 dead in the past week.

At least 30 people have been killed in the past two weeks in Mexico's northern state of Sinaloa as two factions of the powerful Sinaloa cartel continue to clash, authorities said Tuesday. Defense Secretary Luis Cresencio Sandoval said that two military personnel were among those killed in the fighting that started Sept.

Some 53 people have been killed and 51 others are missing in Mexico's western Sinaloa state since rival factions of the Sinaloa Cartel began clashing on Sept 9, local authorities said on Friday, with gruesome violence showing no signs of abating.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is asking the warring factions of the Sinaloa cartel terrorizing the capital city of Culiacán to act "responsibly” so no one else gets killed.

Mexican leader says the U.S. bore some responsibility "for having carried out that operation" to arrest Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada.
