AC360 tonight
Wednesday, August 05, 2009
Michael is scheduled to be on 360 tonight with a report on Los Zetas cartel. The footage previewed last night was heartbreaking.
Also, the International special Witness to War will be airing this weekend on Domestic. Six war correspondents -- Michael, Atia Abawi, Stan Grant, Reza Sayah, Nic Robertson, and Ivan Watson -- talk about the realities of covering these conflicts and the day-to-day lives of the civilians caught in the crossfire.Michael Ware is across the border in Mexico today where he is reporting on Los Zetas – the ruthless arm of the Gulf drug cartel. Los Zetas is rumored to be behind the murder of Mexican police commander Jesus Antonio Romero and his entire family. The attack came at night and assassins used guns, grenades and set the entire house on fire. Get this – many leaders of Los Zetas were once part of the special forces for the Mexican military, but they defected to work for the cartels. Michael Ware will show us the bloody tactics used by the cartel and will explain their role in this lethal drug war.
