Soldiers on Sunday killed a powerful Mexican drug cartel leader who was one of the most wanted men here and in the United States, several media outlets reported.

There was no immediate confirmation from the government of the death of Nemesio Oseguera, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. He had a $15 million bounty on his head.

Oseguera is one of the biggest drug suspects to be taken down since the capture of the founders of the Sinaloa cartel, Joaquin Guzman ‘El Chapo’ and Ismael Zambada. Both are serving time in the United States.

Oseguera, whose nickname was “El Mencho,” was reported killed by the Mexican newspapers El Universal and Reforma, and by the Televisa network.

Earlier, people with guns set cars and trucks on fire in the western state of Jalisco, blocking several roads in response to a security operation taking place in the region.

This technique is used to thwart police trying to move in on a high-value target.

The violence spread to the neighbouring state of Michoacan, where Oseguera’s cartel also has a presence.


His cartel was formed in 2009 and became one of Mexico’s most violent drug trafficking organisations, according to the US Justice Department.

US officials formally classified it as a terrorist organisation and accused the cartel of sending cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and fentanyl from Mexico across the border into the United States.

His goons just invaded airport shoot sporadically. Mexico is the real home of white powder.

Blunt99:
They are already fighting back...

This is what happens when a government emboldened cartels such that they grow so strong to even challenge the central government and military.

Exactly how the Nigeria government pampered Boko Haram and Bandits that they have been unable to be defeated.

If Mexico fails to complete the operation of weeding out the catels.

The return is going to be very brutal for the country.

The Military better finish what they already set in motion, else it is going to be a long debt on innocent civilians.
