Arrest Mexican ‘El Narco de Narcos’ ends manhunt

Mexican drug criminal Rafael Caro Quintero, who was arrested Friday in Sinaloa, is one of the most famous drug lords in Mexican history. In the eighties his nickname was ‘El Narco de Narcos’ or ‘the drug boss of drug bosses’. The ruthless Quintero had an almost mythical status and despite an international manhunt he managed to stay out of the hands of justice for almost nine years. He was eventually ‘draged’ out of the undergrowth by a dog and arrested. Has the curtain finally fallen for Quintero?
