Mexican drugs lord son arrested
march 19 2009 - BBC
 Vicente Zambada, the son of one of Mexico's top drug barons, has been captured, officials say.
Mr Zambada was in charge of operations for the Sinaloa cartel, Mexico's most powerful drugs gang, said the country's attorney general's office.
His father, Ismael, is believed to be a senior leader of the cartel.
Gang warfare and drugs-related violence have soared in Mexico, with more than 6,000 drugs-related killings in the country in 2008.
Vicente Zambada, also know as "El Vicentillo", was arrested on Wednesday in an exclusive area of Mexico City, said officials at a news conference.
They said the arrest followed reports from neighbours of suspicious activity in the area.
A stockpile of weapons and cash were also seized by police.
Ricardo Cabrera of the attorney general's office said the arrest of the younger Zambada would significantly affect the Sinaloa cartel's operations.
Ismael Zambada's brother, Jesus "The King" Zambada, was arrested last year.
Most wanted
Gangs in Mexico are fighting a vicious turf war in the north of the country over lucrative smuggling routes into the US.
The Sinaloa gang is reportedly controlled by Mexico's most wanted man, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, who escaped from prison in 2001 and is believed to be at large in Mexico or Central America.
He is estimated to have a personal fortune of $1bn (£722m) and has been blamed by Mexican officials for much of the continuing violence.
President Felipe Calderon has deployed thousands of soldiers close to the border with the US in an attempt to take back control.
The US has also offered assistance, and this week said it would be sending troops or anti-narcotics agents to the Mexican border.

Moments later, not realizing the mic was still on, he commented to one of his aides that 'whoever did this just landed us in a world of hurt.'
Heh.

@ 6000 deaths for 2008... thats roughly 1 death every 90 minutes...
They'd have to up the death count to 1 death every 30 minutes to stir any attention...
It still blows me away how when I talk to any average citizen, they know relatively nothing about how destructive the mexican drug trade is. And their first thought when I talk about it is..."Damn drugs."
Damn prohibition.

They do do that in the states... they're already there. Kidnappings in AZ, inter-gang wars in TX and so on throughout the rest of the southwest/south.
Just now ran across this: Mexicartels present in Atlanta
They're already here, they just haven't gotten as violent, yet.
And, sadly, Suburbantoker's got a good point. I can see the anti- crowd using that rhetoric and getting some traction out of it.

See it's funny how they mention that it is starting to "spill over the borders" when most gang violence within the country has always been attributed to prohibition.
Just last week my GF's co worker found out that her son and daughter in law were missing for a week, their bodies were then both discovered, decapitated. =/

Yeah these cartels are all over the place in texas. When I was in state jail I saw two different sides get into it. One guy boiled up some baby oil in his mug... He then threw it in the other guys face as he was eating... I was more surprised by the guy who was victim to this, he got up and began swinging with his eyes blistered shut. It was pretty fucking intense.

I thought Shorty Gomez was in charge of the Sinaloa cartel...
