Much like Al Qaida , When one of the leaders of the cartel are arrested , there is someone right there to replace him , This arrest will do nothing to slow the Cartels down.
El Paso Times....
EL PASO -- The Mexican army says it has captured a high-ranking member of the Juárez drug cartel.
Jose Rodolfo "Rikin" Escajeda was also wanted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
Soldiers found him Friday in Nuevo Casas Grandes, a community south of Juárez. Law officers allege that Escajeda is responsible for smuggling drugs into the United States for the past 10 years.
He was alleged to be part of the Carrillo Fuentes drug organization, and controlled the Valle de Juárez region across the border from Fabens, Tornillo and Fort Hancock.
Mexican authorities and the DEA attributed many murders, arsons and several recent beheadings to his gang.
Authorities arrested several of his associates last year, including a couple of his relatives. Other members of his organization may live in El Paso County.
