Today's Video: Bitter Drinks (for Beltran Leyva Cartel)

Mexican cartel boss Arturo Beltran Leyva was killed last night during a gunfight with special forces troops from the Mexican Navy. Beltran Leyva, "El Jefe de Jefes," was aligned with the Los Zetas, a violent group of hitmen and traffickers formed by ex-members of the Mexican armed forces.

The death of Beltran Leyva comes a week after Norteño singer Ramon Ayala was arrested at a Christmas party for Beltran Leyva bosses. Ayala, frontman for Los Bravos del Norte, claims he has no link with the cartel and that he had simply been hired to perform.

The Tragos Amargos the remaining members of the Beltran Leyva Cartel are drinking may be even more bitter once the rival Sinoloa Cartel and its boss "El Chapo" Guzman try to muscle into the void left by Arturo.
