Carlos Olivia Castillo, or " La Rana", N°3 leader of "Los Zetas" cartel have been arrested in Saltillo.
Tim Johnson deals about the reputation of Los Zetas, "one of the two largest crime groups in Mexico" and the fact that rival crimes organization have joined forces to combat them, creating a vengeance group, the "Zeta Killers".
Extract:
"In a major blow to the vicious crime group known as Los Zetas, the Mexican army said Thursday that it had captured the group's No. 3 leader, who the army said gave the order to firebomb a crowded casino this summer in Monterrey, Mexico. Fifty-two people died in the resulting blaze.
" Rival crime gangs despise Los Zetas and have joined forces in some regions to combat them. A new vengeance group, “Zeta killers,” also has risen up in Veracruz state, on the Gulf Coast.
Unlike rival crime groups, which stick largely to drug trafficking, Los Zetas have branched into numerous criminal enterprises — including extortion, human trafficking, pirating of goods, gunrunning and kidnapping — and occupy territory, buying off or killing local authorities."
