Mexico gets tough with new front in drug war

As Mexican authorities wage war on drug gangs, they have opened a new front: the small shrines and chapels where criminals are said to seek protection from La Santa Muerte, a popular saint not sanctioned by the Catholic Church whose name means Saint Death.
