Mexico captures most-wanted 'drug-cartel kingpin'

MEXICO CITY: Mexican soldiers have captured Hector Beltran Leyva, one of the country's most-wanted men and a suspected drug-cartel kingpin who had a bounty of more than $7 million on his head, prosecutors said.

He had taken over the Beltran Leyva cartel in recent years after his brothers' deaths or arrests, but was nabbed in the city of San Miguel de Allende, investigating prosecutors' spokesman Tomas Zeron told reporters on Wednesday.
