Mexico arrests 'drug cartel boss'
4-2-2009 : BBC
 Mexican police have arrested one of the country's most-wanted alleged drug traffickers, authorities have said.
Federal police said they arrested the suspect, Vicente Carrillo Leyva, while he was exercising in a park near his home in Mexico City.
He is believed to be the deputy leader of the Juarez cartel and is accused of money laundering and cocaine smuggling.
Mexico's authorities are battling a wave of violence by drug gangs fighting over smuggling routes to the US.
The Juarez cartel - also known as the Carrillo Fuentes organisation, after Mr Carrillo Leyva's father - is active in the border town of Ciudad Juarez.
Mr Carrillo Leyva's arrest came hours before US and Mexican security officials were to discuss new strategies for staunching the flow of drugs north into the US and the smuggling of guns and money south into Mexico.
Late last month the Mexican government published a list of the country's most-wanted drug kingpins.
The authorities are offering rewards of up to $2m (£1.37m) each for information leading to the arrest of the drug lords and their lieutenants.
Another suspected cartel figure, Hector Huerta Rios, was arrested on 25 March in the northern city of Monterrey.
He was accused of being the main operator in the north of Mexico for the Beltran Leyva cartel, whose base is on the Pacific coast.
Some 8,000 people have died in the past two years, as drug gangs fight for territory amid government crackdowns.
On a visit to Mexico last week, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said America's appetite for drugs and its inability to stop arms crossing the border were helping fuel the violence.

Way to go, you eliminated one of the weakest cartel's leaders. All this does is make Sinaloa stronger.

"The authorities are offering rewards of up to $2m (£1.37m) each for information leading to the arrest of the drug lords and their lieutenants"
How stupid can you get? It's not like they know nothing of their own situation...
Why would work with the police just to collect your $2m, essentially guaranteeing the brutal death of you and your family, when you could make twice as much selling information about a gvt. official to the cartel, and stay alive?

"The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others - the living - are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later"
