{"Image ImageDescription": "A former \"puntero\" (informant) of the Templar Knights drug cartel poses during an interview with AFP at la Nopalera community, Michoacan state, Mexico, on February 15, 2014. Presently the two young men are part of the community's self-defense group. Mexican federal forces have taken over police duties in some 20 towns in the restive state of Michoacan, where vigilante groups are fighting a drug cartel. Michoacan, where much of the population lives in poverty, has become the most pressing security issue facing Mexico President Enrique Pena Nieto, who inherited a bloody war on drugs.
