A pair of major blows against drug gangs took place over the last 24 hours in Colombia and Mexico.Colombian police captured one of the most wanted drug capos this morning: Daniel Rendon Herrera (alias "Don Mario"). Herrera was arrested in a clandestine police operation along with between twenty to thirty men at a farm where they were hiding.
A former right-wing paramilitary, "Don Mario" allied himself to a recently-formed criminal group and had offered a $1000 bounty for each police officer his gang killed. Herrera could be extradited to the U.S. for supposedly smuggling tons of cocaine in the 1990s.
In Mexico, meanwhile, authorities arrested a 20-year-old woman guarding a massive arsenal allegedly for use by the Beltran-Leyva drug cartel. An anti air-craft machine gun, five rifles, and part of a grenade launcher where some of the weapons confiscated by police during a routine patrol.
Yesterday’s actions come as the Mexican government claims that nearly 90% of the 12,000 pistols and rifles confiscated from drug gangs last year came from U.S. dealers.
