A big victory for the Mexican army in the drug war

(My new American Thinker post)

I
don’t think that many Americans understand just how bloody this drug
war has been in Mexico.    We also don’t hear about the sacrifice of
many Mexican police and soldiers.

So let’s say thumbs up to the Mexican army because they scored a big win this week:   

“Miguel
Angel Trevino Morales, the notoriously brutal leader of the feared
Zetas drug cartel, was captured before dawn Monday in the first major
blow against an organized crime leader by a Mexican administration
struggling to drive down persistently high levels of violence, officials
announced. Trevino
Morales, 40, was captured by Mexican Marines who intercepted a pickup
truck with $2 million in cash on a dirt road in the countryside outside
the border city of Nuevo Laredo, which has long served as the Zetas’
base of operations. The truck was halted by a Marine helicopter and
Trevino Morales was taken into custody along with a bodyguard and an
accountant and eight guns, government spokesman Eduardo Sanchez told
reporters.”

 
This is a huge hit on the cartels.  Well done guys!
