Hit-woman arrested in Mexico – assassin said to have killed 20 people for drug cartel

Mexican police have arrested a hit-woman said to have killed 20 people for a feared drug cartel.

Reuters reports that Maria Jimenez was paid about $1,700 a month to kill rival traffickers and a police officer. She was arrested in the northern city of Monterrey and has, apparently, confessed to the murders and other crimes.

Other female assassins have been arrested in Mexico but few have been implicated in so many killings.

There have been more than 50,000 drug-related murders in Mexico since December 2006, when President Felipe Calderon took office and launched an offensive against the cartels.

Government 'ripped off' by IT giants, say MPs

UK government departments have been ripped off by a "cartel" of IT firms, according to a report by MPs.

The BBC says that some departments had even paid up to £3,500 for a single desktop PC. Indeed, the report says that government was sometimes paying up to 10 times more for equipment than the going rate.
