End of an era for Mexican drug cartels marked by arrests
Osiel Cardenas, alleged Gulf coast cartel boss with 300 hitmen, was captured after a Matamoros shootout, following the February 2002 death of Ramon Arellano Felix and the later arrest of his brother Benjamin. Authorities say fragmented, rationalized gangs replace the once violent corporate cartels.
