2008 Top 7 International Organized Crime Entities

1. The Sinaloa Cartel AKA "The Federation;" Whether it's bribing cabinet level officials in Mexican law enforcement, decapitating rivals or shipping meth straight to new york city, there is no doubt that the Sinaloa Cartel is the number one spot in this top ten. In the last two months Sinaloa operatives have been arrested in Peru, Argentina, India & Australia. They mean business.

2. Somalian Pirates: Anytime you get multiple navies summoned to deal with your situation, that's a good year.

3. Lashkar-e-Taiba: The Pakistani anti-Indian Kashmiri paramilitary/advocacy group/terrorist entity swipes the top Arab/Muslim world list from Al Queda for the first time ever with their outrageous Mumbai antics. Could be number one next year in the event of an Indian/Pakistani war.

4. General Laurent Nkunda Militia (Congo): Africa's second entry is renegade Congan general Nkunda. While putatively a member of the army in Congo, he is also a huge thief and a warlord.

5. The Russian State: Theoretically not an organized crime entity, but rather a sovereign goverment, the Russians behave with all the subtlety of a mafia hit man. War over Georgia, check. Forced nationalization of major industries, check.

6. The Mongols: Major LA area bust put them in the headlines in the Western U.S.

7. The Gulf Cartel: Mexcio's OTHER enormous Cartel, locked in a bloody, bloody, bloody battle with Sinaloa cartel.
