Mexican Marines captured the brutal leader of the Los Zetas Mexican drug cartel early Monday in what U.S. drug enforcement officials called a major blow in the country's drug war.
Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, 40, was arrested with $2 million in cash on a dirt road outside Nuevo Laredo, where the cartel is based. His bodyguard and an accountant were also arrested. The Drug Enforcement Administration lauded the capture.
