Police and soldiers on Wednesday caught Gregorio Sauceda, a former policeman turned drug smuggler who had a $2 million reward on his head, in a house in the border city of Matamoros near Texas, along with his wife and an arsenal of weapons that included a rocket launcher, the public security ministry said. Sauceda, 44, is considered to be a founder of the Gulf cartel's brutal armed wing, the Zetas, which is notorious for beheading rival smugglers. He was flown to the capital, Mexico City, after his arrest. The capture scores another point for conservative President Felipe Calderon, who has put dozens of traffickers behind bars in a high-stakes war on drug cartels whose turf wars have killed some 2,000 people this year. Mexican drug gangs killed some 6,300 people, mainly rivals and police, across the country last year and Washington is worried the violence could be spilling over the border. Sauceda briefly took over the running of the Gulf cartel after soldiers arrested gang leader Osiel Cardenas at a party in Matamoros in 2003 and was one of its most violent hitmen, the ministry said. Cardenas was extradited to the United States in 2007. In the past few weeks soldiers have also captured Vicente Carrillo Leyva, the 32-year-old son of legendary drug lord Amado Carrillo Fuentes, and Vicente Zambada, the son of Sinaloa cartel boss Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. U.S. President Barack Obama praised Calderon's drug war in a visit to the Mexican capital this month and has pledged more support in cracking down on the southbound flow of weapons and cash that fuel the cartels in Mexico.
