Nemecio Osigera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, head of one of the biggest illegal drug trafficking organisations in Mexico, was killed by Mexican security forces on Sunday.

The Trump administration had declared El Mencho's group to be a foreign terrorist organisation and committed themselves to their total elimination. OK, let's have our first headline, Phil.
