Mexico captures Knights Templar drug cartel leader
Mexican security forces have launched a crackdown on the drug cartels who are fighting a bitter battle that has claimed tens of thousands of lives since 2006 (AFP)Mexican federal police captured Knights Templar drug cartel leader Servando Gomez on Friday, taking down one of the country’s most wanted fugitives whose gang tormented the western state of Michoacan.
Gomez, alias “La Tuta,” was detained without a shot fired in Morelia, Michoacan’s capital, a National Security Commission official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The 49-year-old former teacher is being transferred to Mexico City, where authorities will hold a press conference about the capture, which was the result “of several months of intelligence work by federal police,” the official said.
