\n<\/span><\/p>\nMexican authorities have arrested two alleged leaders of the Zetas drug gang in connection with the murder of a US immigration official. <\/p>\n
The suspected local head of the Zetas drugs gang in the northern state of Coahuila, Sergio “El Toto” Mora, was arrested by marines in Saltillo. <\/p>\n
Federal police meanwhile detained Luis Miguel Rojo in San Luis Potosi, where the attack took place. <\/p>\n
Another suspected gang member has been accused of killing Agent Jaime Zapata. <\/p>\n
Julian Zapata Espinoza, who was arrested last week, told soldiers he and other gunmen opened fire on the agent’s car, thinking it belonged to a rival gang, officials said. <\/p>\n
Another US Immigrations and Customs (ICE) official, Victor Avila, was injured in the ambush outside the city of San Luis Potosi.<\/p>\n
Mr Mora is suspected of running the Zetas’ operations in San Luis Potosi.<\/p>\n
Mr Rojo is alleged to be responsible for handling the gang’s finances in the region. <\/p>\n
Jaime Zapata, a 32-year-old Texan, was assigned to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) human smuggling and trafficking unit. <\/p>\n
He had been on attachment to the ICE office within the US embassy in Mexico City.<\/p>\n
Drug violence is set to be discussed when Mexican President Felipe Calderon visits President Obama this week.<\/p>\n
More than 34,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico since December 2006, when President Calderon’s government deployed soldiers and federal police in a widespread crackdown on the illegal cartels.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
