While the Mexican government has not made an official announcement as of Tuesday night, information provided by officials with Mexico’s Secretariat of the Interior revealed that federal police officers, along with Queretaro State police, arrested Luis Alberto “Pelochas” Blanco Flores–one of the top leaders within the Gulf Cartel. Details of the operation and arrest have not been released.

Since May, Blanco Flores led a faction of the Gulf Cartel that tried to take control of the criminal organization in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, from a rival faction. The raging internal war led to fierce gun battles where convoys of gunmen moved about the border city firing off .50 caliber rifles, grenade launchers, and machine guns. Breitbart Texas documented more than 400 murders that are directly linked to the ongoing violence for control. The casualties include innocent bystanders, fallen police officers and soldiers, plus cartel gunmen.
