Velazquez Caballero is the third alleged cartel leader to be taken into custody this month.

In the waning months of President Felipe Calderon’s presidency, the arrests add to the list of cartel figures taken out of action as part of his U.S.-backed strategy of removing the leadership of drug-smuggling organizations.
