Mexico's most feared and famous drugs baron has been captured driving a pickup truck laden with eight guns and $2million in cash near the US border.

Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, the notoriously cruel leader of the Zetas cartel, is behind some of the largest and most gruesome massacres of a drugs war that has claimed the lives of up to 100,000 people since 2006.
The 40-year-old, whose trademark method of execution was to burn his enemies alive in oil drums, was snared by Mexican Marines yesterday on a dirt road outside the border city of Nuevo Laredo, which has long served as the Zetas' criminal heartland.

The truck was halted by a Marine helicopter and Trevino Morales was taken into custody along with a bodyguard and an accountant, government spokesman Eduardo Sanchez said.
