The cartel violence that has erupted in Mexico is threatening to spill over the border into the US.

Suspected narco-terrorists set vehicles on fire at the border wall in Tijuana, close to San Diego, set up roadblocks and targeted local businesses on Monday, the New York Post reported.

The newspaper also said this is linked to the death of the Jalisco's cartel boss Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes, who was killed during a special forces raid in the town of Tapalpa. "Vengeful gang members quickly brought hell to cities across the country", the Post also said.

Violence has also spread farther up the west coast, with local media reporting attacks in parts of Baja California and as close to the US as Tijuana.
