"El Brad Pitt" arrested

Federal police arrested a drug cartel operative accused of attacking a police station with a car bomb and participating in the killing of a man that was then posted on the Internet, authorities said Thursday.

Marco Antonio Guzman Zuniga, nicknamed "Brad Pitt," was identified by police as a leader of La Linea, the Juarez cartel's enforcement arm. He was arrested Wednesday in the city of Chihuahua.

The state of Chihuahua had offered a reward of up to half a million pesos ($42,000) for information leading to his arrest.

Guzman Zuniga, 34, coordinated drug operations in several cities, including Chihuahua and the violent Ciudad Juarez, the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement. He is also accused of being involved in other criminal activities, including car theft and the murder of rivals and police who did not collaborate with the cartel, the ministry said.

He is an ex-policeman, authorities said.

Among the crimes that Guzman Zuniga is accused of carrying out is the July 15, 2010 attack on a police installation in Ciudad Juarez with a car bomb.

He is also accused of taking part in the killing of a man whose death was recorded and the recording distributed on the Internet.

Police also say Guzman Zuniga was responsible for an attack on a police deputy director in Chihuahua earlier this month. Two bodyguards were killed.

"It's a name given to the man by his associates. I guess they think he looks like him," a spokesman for federal police said, referring to the 47-year-old Hollywood star Pitt.

  11. Lawmakers Fight for More Eyes Above Texas-Mexico Border

    WASHINGTON, D.C. - Two congressional lawmakers from Texas are working to put more eyes in the sky above the Texas-Mexico border. They want more aerial surveillance for the region.

    There are currently four UAVs, or unmanned aerial systems, assigned to the southern border. Three are based in Arizona, and most recently, one now based in Corpus Christi is classified as a maritime unit.

    The bill directs the Army, National Guard and the Air National Guard to design and build a hangar on the southwest border that would house UAVs. The high-tech systems would support the National Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other law enforcement.

    Lawmakers say that while Arizona shares less than 400 miles of border with Mexico, Texas has about three times the area to cover.

    Congressmen Henry Cuellar and Michael McCaul sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano urging the agency to station the two UAVs requested in Texas.

    The two UAVs on order per the appropriations bill are to be delivered at the end of the year. The bill now moves from the House to the Senate.

  14. Kinda like Edgar Villareal looking like a Ken Doll? NOT! That`s more of an EGO thing. I`m betting this guy gave himself the nickname and told his followers to call him that. And furthermore, what the HELL is up with every Mexican having a "nickname" It isn`t enough that they already have four names, they need to add another name? Stupid. The more I read these blogs, the dumber they get.

  18. to anonymous @2:46am, your right, what the f--- is up with the nicknames? i'm white, but work construction in texas and am frequently outnumbered at work. in fact now i'm the one of only 2 other white guys on our site. i've worked around the border (dimmit, webb, zapata counties) as well.
    but yea, everyone has nicknames. all i ever get is baerro or 'shaggy' from scooby doo, but all i know is everyone's nickname, not they're real name. it's like pro wrestling or something.
