Major Mexican Drug Ring Busted In Atlanta

Major Mexican Drug Ring Busted In Atlanta: "U.S. authorities have arrested 45 people in an operation targeting an Atlanta-based Mexican drug cartel engaged in suspected money laundering and drug smuggling, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said on Thursday.
It said the arrests were the result of more than an year-long investigation, code-named 'Operation Choke,' that began in May 2009. The investigation targeted the U.S. operations of La Familia, one of Mexico's largest and most brutal cartels based in the country's south-western state of Michoacan."
