Los Zetas: Mexico's most feared drug cartel has a long reach -- but its grasp is less certain
Mexican soldiers escort Luis Jesus Sarabia Ramon, aka "El Pepito," an alleged leader of Los Zetas drug cartel, to his presentation before journalists on Jan. 13, shortly after his capture.

Instead its killers prey on local populations rather than woo them with jobs, charity and public services. This lack of mutal dependence may explain in part the easy capture recently of Zetas ringleader “Pepito Sarabia.”
