Whack-a-mole Drug War: Mexican drug lord tied to death of ICE agent captured

Authorities: Mexican drug lord tied to death of ICE agent captured - CNN.com: "Mexican authorities said Monday that they had arrested a Zetas drug cartel leader who was connected with the killing of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent this year.

Federal police captured Jesus Enrique Rejon Aguilar, known as 'El Mamito,' Sunday, a top official with the agency said.

Rejon is suspected of being behind numerous deaths in northeastern Mexico, where the Zetas have been engaged in a turf battle with their former allies, the Gulf Cartel.

Rejon was a former member of the Mexican Army's elite forces who deserted in February 1999, according to Ramon E. Pequeno, anti-drug division chief of Mexico's federal police. The following month, he joined the group that founded the Zetas, Pequeno said."
