Mexico arrest in US agent killing

Mr Zapata was buried in Texas, where a US official vowed to defeat the "scourge" that took his life Mexico's military says it has detained a suspect in the killing last week of a US immigration agent there. Jaime Zapata was shot dead on 15 February and another agent, Victor Avila, was wounded when they were attacked on a highway in San Luis Potosi. A US congressman has said they were attacked by members of the Zetas drug gang, which set up a checkpoint. Further details of the arrest were unavailable. In a statement on Wednesday, the Mexican defence secretariat said more information would be forthcoming. The agents with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement service were driving between Mexico City and the northern city of Monterrey when they were attacked, the US has said. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) said last week it was working with Mexican authorities to investigate the shooting. Mr Zapata, a 32-year-old Texas native, was assigned to the agency's human smuggling and trafficking unit, and was recently on attachment to the ICE office within the US embassy in Mexico City.This article is from the BBC News website. � British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
