Mexican Navy Captures Regional Boss of Zetas Drug Cartel

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico arrested one of the top traffickers of the Zetas drug cartel accused of overseeing the feared gangs' operations across the south of the country, the navy said on Friday.
Naval forces captured on Thursday Mauricio Guizar, known as "El Amarillo," in a hotel in small town in the central state of Puebla where he was holed up with 20 grenades, an anti-tank bazooka and a submachine gun, the navy said in a statement.
Guizar is implicated in the killing of four soldiers in the Gulf state of Veracruz in April.
