Two Mexican members of a hit squad for the notorious Los Zetas drug cartel were given life prison sentences Monday for the 2011 murder of a US immigration agent inside Mexico.
The US Justice department said that Jose Emanuel Garcia Sota, 36, of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and Jesus Ivan Quezada Pina, 29, of Matamoros, Mexico, shot dead Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent Jaime Zapata in a car-jacking on a busy highway near San Luis Potosi, 260 miles (420 kilometers) north of Mexico City.
