Mexican soldiers captured a 14-year-old U.S. citizen suspected of being a drug gang hitman as he attempted to travel to the United States.
Edgar Jimenez, known as "El Ponchis," worked for the South Pacific drug cartel in Morelos state, outside Mexico City, the army said Friday.
The boy was caught late Thursday as he boarded a plane in the city of Cuernavaca in Morelos. He was travelling to the border city of Tijuana across from San Diego, California, with two of his sisters, one of whom is believed to be the lover of one of the cartel's bosses, the army said.
The three Jimenez siblings reportedly had wanted to cross to San Diego, where they have relatives.
"El Ponchis" made headlines last month as reports of his grisly murders, including beheadings, surfaced. He acknowledged having killed at least seven people and the influence of drugs provided by a cartel leader, according to the army statement. It was not immediately clear what his nickname refers to.

Obama will look the lad and make him the poster child for why he needs to pass the dream act.
I'm pretty sure they're not customers of the Mexican drug cartels, though.
The cartels are active in South America because the US has money and the borders are WIDE open.
I think I said something to that effect....
Obviously this is because of Mexico’s RACIST LAWS! They are profiling against Caucasians... I expect President Obama to travel to Mexico to protest their RACIST LAWS in the media!/sarc LOL
Ping!
I wonder if he was coming or going to work?
I have a solution. Try and execute all foreigners caught selling drugs on US soil. That will put a dent in the usage statistics. People are weak. Remove the temptation. Execute all drug dealers above a certain threshold. Pot dealers punished too but by exile for ten years, not execution
“Well if it weren’t for Americans buying drugs, the country would be at peace— or at least, not in the middle of a drug -cartel war’’. And if people were just more nice they wouldn’t be so bad!
“Another dang American bringing violence to the peacefull country of Mexico! If it weren’t for American guns and Americans dealing drugs the country would be at peace. /Sarc”
There’s something to what you say there. Many, if not most, of the murdering scum in the Mexican border towns are gang bangers from such orgs as MS13 and 18th Street gangs.
The scumbags own much of the coyote business, provide “platoons” of gun fighters, enforcers, general purpose murderers to various cartels, and freely migrate back and forth across the border at will.
