In this Oct. 24, 2012 photo, soldiers patrol in front of the "Plaza de Toros," or bullfighting ring, suspected by the army of belonging to members of the drug cartel "Caballeros Templarios," or Knights Templar, near the town of Holanda in Michoacan state, Mexico. Knights Templar, a quasi-religious drug cartel that controls the area and most of the state, monitors the movements of the military and police around the clock. The gang's members not only live off methamphetamine and marijuana smuggling and extortion, they maintain country roads, control the local economy and act as private debt collectors for citizens frustrated with the courts, soldiers say.
