Top drug cartel suspect arrested in Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- A top drug cartel leader who allegedly directed cocaine trafficking through Mexico City's international airport was arrested after a shootout in the capital, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Jesus "The King" Zambada was among 16 Sinaloa cartel members arrested Monday after a gunbattle with police in which an apparent grenade explosion destroyed a car, said Attorney General Eduardo Medina.
