Burning vehicles used as roadblocks are seen on the outskirts of Guadalajara August 25, 2012. Armed gangs blocked intersections and highways throughout Guadalajera, Mexico’s second biggest city, on Saturday with vehicles doused in gas and set on fire. Police confirmed seven unauthorized roadblocks with charred, smoldering cars and trucks within the Guadalajera city limits and 15 more in surrounding Jalisco state. One man was seriously wounded by gunfire at one of the roadblocks. REUTERS/Alejandro Acosta (MEXICO – Tags: CRIME LAW)
