According to the LA Times, son of Ismael Zambada, a prominent Mexican drug lord and head of the Sinaloa cartel, Vincente Zambada was arrested Wednesday. Authorities Zambada had become high-level operator of a powerful trafficking group in the northwestern state of Sinaloa. He was taken in during an operation by the army and federal agents. Authorities described the arrest as an important blow against the alliance of Sinaloa-based traffickers headed by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera, who is Mexico's most-wanted fugitive.
They claim that this arrest is an "important blow to the organizations ability to operate and move drugs." Vincente Zambada is the latest member of the family captured during President Felipe Calderon's 2- year crackdown on drug trafficking. The arrest proves to be a small yet, important step in the right direction for the governments stance on drug cartels.
