MEXICO CITY (AP) ? Mexican authorities detained the Zeta cartel's alleged top hit man in the city of Veracruz for the disappearance of three marines, the navy announced Friday.
Angel Mora, nicknamed "Commander Devil," was detained Thursday in a working-class neighborhood in the Gulf Coast port city of Veracruz, along with another gunman, the navy said in a statement.
He is the top hit man for the Zetas in the cities of Veracruz and neighboring Boca del Rio, it said.
Mora, 25, and Gregorio Maldonado are believed to be part of a Zetas' cell that killed three marines who were kidnapped on July 29. Troops seized six automatic rifles from the men, the navy said.
In the border state of Nuevo Leon, authorities on Friday announced the arrest of one of the suspected masterminds of a casino arson that killed 52 people last month.
Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Jorge Domene said federal agents detained Roberto Lopez Thursday in Zapopan, a suburb of the western city of Guadalajara.
Lopez, 32, is believed to be one of four alleged members of the Zetas drug cartel who planned the Aug. 25 arson of the Casino Royale in the northern city of Monterrey.
Federal agents flew Lopez, a former police officer in the northern city of Saltillo, to Mexico City for further questioning, Domene told Milenio Television.
Lopez is the 11th suspect to be arrested in the case. Seven others remain at large.
Gunmen entered the Casino Royale in Monterrey on August 25, spread gasoline and set the building on fire, trapping and asphyxiating dozens in what's believed to be a case of extortion.
