ADVANCE FOR FRIDAY, NOV. 2 AND THEREAFTER - In this Oct. 24, 2012 photo, a soldier patrols in an army convoy along a road where a horse crosses near the town of Holanda in Michoacan state, Mexico. Knights Templar, a quasi-religious drug cartel that controls the area and most of the state, monitors the movements of the military and police around the clock. The gang's members not only live off methamphetamine and marijuana smuggling and extortion, they maintain country roads, control the local economy and act as private debt collectors for citizens frustrated with the courts, soldiers say.
