Zetas cartel leader apparently killed

Just a reminder of the guidelines posted at HN (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html):

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

Please, keep the posts on topic.

Lazcano's death would mark a huge victory for Mexican law enforcement

Won't someone else just step up and take the void?

Cartel's business model still intact
