IMAGE 28 OF 103 El Blog Del Narco published more than 30 photos on Monday of purported Gulf Cartel members showing their faces and guns.

New photos out of Mexico purportedly show cartel members gearing up for war now that Sinaloa cartel kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has been extradited to the U.S. and is fully out of the picture.
Groups are readying for an all-out fight for turf and power with Guzman's sons and brother, Blog del Narco, a Mexican publication, reported Tuesday.

Earlier this month, Guzman's sons were injured in an attack from a rival cartel.
The Associated Press reported that a "bloody turf war could break out to fill the power vacuum" left by Guzman, and the leaked photos above appear to show the beginnings of one.

Damaso Lopez, an alleged Sinaloa figure vying for control of the group, is thought to be behind the attack on Guzman's children, the Associated Press reported.

Blog del Narco reported the Beltrán-Leyva Cartel is also targeting Guzman's family.
