TIMES WIRE REPORTS

Soldiers have arrested a suspected member of a powerful drug cartel who is listed among Mexico’s 37 most-wanted traffickers, officials said.

Raymundo Almanza Morales was captured in the northern city of Monterrey after soldiers received an anonymous tip. Almanza is named as a top lieutenant of the Gulf drug cartel on the list of most-wanted traffickers the government published in March.

His brother, Octavio Almanza, was arrested in February on suspicion of masterminding the killing of an army general in Cancun.
