I can’t believe that by now AQ has NOT tried to hook up with the Mexican drug cartels. That being said, the cartels would want to make sure their dealings with AQ were profitable and that dealing with them wouldn’t hurt their current money-making business models.
“the cartels would want to make sure their dealings with AQ were profitable and that dealing with them wouldn’t hurt their current money-making business models”
I think you make a good point. The Mexican drug cartels knowingly wouldn’t want to bring more heat upon them by letting the terrorists exploit their operational infrastructure; however, the terrorists could use the Mexican drug cartels as unsuspecting dupes, and a cell of Middle East terrorists could pose as just your garden variety drug smuggler trying to get into the U.S. through the smuggling lines and distribution networks the Mexican drug cartels have in place.
