Mexican forces capture Zetas cartel leader

Mexican security forces have captured the leader of Los Zetas, one of the country's largest and most violent drug cartels, in an upper-class suburb of the northern city of Monterrey.

Omar Trevino Morales, known as "Z-42", was detained by federal police and soldiers in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon state on Wednesday, officials have said.

Trevino, 41, took the helm of the Zetas after his brother, Miguel Angel Trevino, or "Z-40," was captured by marines in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas in July 2013.
