Mexico catches drug baron as U.S. tightens border

One down ! And you Know there is somebody waiting to step in to keep it going !
And Mr Leyva ,with Mexico's rampant Governmental corruption , will probably be able to run things from his jail cell !

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican police have captured a drug baron from the northern border city of Ciudad Juarez, the country's most violent place in a turf war among trafficking gangs that killed 6,300 people last year.

Vicente Carrillo Leyva, 32, a leader of the Juarez cartel, was seized while jogging in a park in an upscale residential district of Mexico City, police said on Thursday.

He was presented to the media, wearing a white track suit, shortly before U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Attorney General Eric Holder arrived for talks with the Mexican government about plans for tougher border controls to stop U.S. weapons reaching Mexican drug gangs.

"His capture marks another significant victory for Mexican law enforcement," the U.S. Embassy in Mexico said.

"LORD OF THE SKIES"

Carrillo Leyva is the son of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, a drug lord known as the "Lord of the Skies" who flew jetliners full of cocaine into Mexico in the 1990s and who reportedly died in 1997 during plastic surgery to change his appearance.

Mexico put a $2 million reward on Carrillo Leyva's head in a list of dozens of top drug smuggling suspects made public last month. He was one of two Juarez cartel members listed.

Carrillo Leyva had "roles of leadership and managing illicit resources in the organization," senior prosecutor Marisela Morales told reporters.
