On April 2, 2014, the New York Times reported the death of a Mexican drug lord, Enrique Plancarte, who had been hiding out in a rented house in the state of Querétaro.2 Plancarte was shot dead by marines as he walked down the street. His death was announced in Mexico and the United States with some satisfaction, for Plancarte was one of the highest-ranking members of a notorious cartel called Los Caballeros Templarios: The Knights Templar.
