<\/p>\nHitmen from one of Mexico's most powerful drug cartels have announced a "purge" in a chilling video that has emerged online.<\/p>\n
They have been identified as members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) – considered to be the country's most dangerous drug trafficking organisation. <\/p>\n
The cartel members appear wearing creepy Halloween masks over their faces and military-style uniforms on their bodies. They're also armed to the teeth, pointing high-calibre weapons to the sky as they deliver their terrifying message. <\/p>\n

One cartel member is heard addressing the residents of Teotihuac\u00e1n, a city in the State of Mexico, as well as people in the surrounding areas. He announces the CJNG has "arrived" there before listing off all the towns they will be visiting on their "purge". <\/p>\n
The hitman says (according to a translation from Borderland Beat): "This message goes out to the residents within the valleys of Teotihuac\u00e1n and all of its surroundings. We\u2019ve arrived you sons of b******.<\/p>\n
"We will be moving throughout the towns of San Juan Teotihuac\u00e1n, Otumba, Axapusco, Nopaltepec, Acolman, Maquixco, Atlatongo, Joquicingo, San Mart\u00edn de las Pir\u00e1mides, Santanas, San Luis, San Miguel, Ixtlahuaca, Tec\u00e1mac, Zumpango, 5 de Mayo, San Pedro, Santa Maria, Purificaci\u00f3n, San Sebasti\u00e1n Xolalpa, Bel\u00e9m, Oxtotipac, Tepetlaoxtoc, San Marcos, Nepantla, San Antonio, Teopancala, Coacalco. <\/p>\n

"We\u2019ve arrived to purge these areas you sons of b******. We are the absolute mob of Mr Mencho." The hitmen are then heard shouting that final sentence again in unison.<\/p>\n
The CJNG is headed by Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, more commonly referred to by his alias El Mencho. The gang's propensity for extreme violence has landed El Mencho at the top of both America and Mexico's most wanted lists, with US authorities offering $10million (\u00a38.2m) for information leading to his capture.<\/p>\n
