Mexico City--Mexican federal forces captured Zetas drug cartel leader Omar Trevino in the northeastern state of Nuevo Leon early Wednesday, two federal officials told AFP.

The suspect known as "Z-42," who took the helm after his brother was arrested in July 2013, was detained in the town of San Pedro Garza Garcia, a suburb of the industrial city of Monterrey, the officials said on condition of anonymity.
