Mexico catches most powerful cartel boss

Mexico now has finally caught the most powerful cartel boss or drug kingpin, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, in Mexico but there are many others waiting in the wing to take over for him. Even though this capture is huge win for Mexico's President this arrest could lead to a huge waive of violence as others fight for his turf. The least violent way this could is if Guzman's main associate just takes over all his duties. Many of the other cartel gangs are very ambitious and want to get to the top.The U.S. and Mexico are both very worried of the violence this could bring because the gangs are getting ready for the next generation of cartel bosses. So its almost guaranteed violence goes up in Mexico as these gangs fight over turf to get to the top.
