Mexico Blackout

Today (10-27-13) much of Mexico was blacked out by a power outage that according to reports, was caused by a drug cartel. I don't know how a cartel could benefit from sabotaging electrical stations, but I did notice that a couple of Mexican stations that I like to listen to online, XEMU in Piedras Negras, and XEKT in Tecate, have been silent, at least on the Internet stream. I'm guessing that it's conceivable that the radio outages could be related.

I wonder (rhetorically) how many other stations may have been affected, and just what could the cartels gain from such an act?
 
Hard to tell down there; maybe they want something that they aren't getting, so they are showing how much power they have to cause pain. Maybe it was intended to somehow shut down the competition.
