Jesus Quinones was a liaison with the Baja California attorney general's office. He and the others are accused of committing murder, kidnapping, robbery, drug smuggling and money laundering for the Fernando Sánchez Organization, an offshoot of the Arellano Félix drug cartel.

The U.S. attorney says Quinones passed along classified intelligence to drug traffickers and arranged for rivals of the Arellano Felix cartel to be arrested. The news release has details.

The drug bloodbath continued today in northern Mexico. Prosecutors found 18 bodies in a dumping ground near Monterrey in Nueva Leon.
