And on Monday 10 decapitated bodies were found in the northern Mexican city of Torreon.
The bodies were dumped in the back of a truck with their heads scattered across the city.
Authorities said the killers left a message directed at another gang.
The cartels have also become more brazen in the face of ongoing efforts by the Mexican army to curb their operations.
Yesterday, two separate raids by Mexican government special forces left nine gunmen dead.
Raids on a Monterrey weapons training ground left four dead, while five more were killed after an SUV carrying members of another cartel opened fire on troops in the town of Cadereyta.
Monterrey, a major industrial hub, has seen a spike of violence since the Gulf and Zeta cartels began fighting for control of drug traffic there two years ago.
On Thursday Mexican journalist Armando Rodriguez, renowned for his coverage of gangland slayings in his hometown of Ciudad Juarez, lay dead in a casket, shot by suspected cartel hitmen.
As his colleague Jorge Luis Aguirre drove to the funeral home in the dismal border city to pay his last respects, his cell phone rang. The husky voice delivered a chilling warning: 'You're next.'

Last October, Mexican authorities made their largest-ever seizure of marijuana packaged for sale, a record 148 tons (134 metric tons) found in a number of tractor trailers and houses in Tijuana.They appeared to make up a major distribution center traced directly to Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, Mexico's most-wanted fugitive, who has expanded the reach of his Sinaloa cartel along the U.S.-Mexico border since escaping from prison in 2001.In November, U.S. and Mexican investigators found two long, sophisticated tunnels under the border between Baja California and California, along with more than 40 tons of marijuana in and around the tunnels.
