Mexico president hails capture of drug lord Servando 'La Tuta' Gomez

Mexican police have captured the country's most wanted drug lord, Servando "La Tuta" Gomez.

Mr Gomez, leader of the Knights Templar drug cartel, was arrested in Morelia in Michoacan state without a shot fired.

President Enrique Pena Nieto wrote on Twitter that the rule of law had been strengthened because of the arrest, which moved Mexico towards peace.
