Calderón on Beltrán Leyva

Here are the president's remarks from Copenhagen on the death of Beltrán Leyva:

After an intense confrontation between alleged criminals from the criminal organization of the Beltrán Leyva cartel and infantrymen from the Mexican Navy's Marines, tonight Arturo Beltrán Leyva, leader of the cartel of Sinaloa, was killed.

This operation was carried out after an intense intelligence job completed by Mexican Navy personnel, which culminated in a confrontation in the "Altitudes" neighborhood in the city of Cuernavaca, Morelos.

Four more gunmen were killed, among them one who committed suicide after seeing himself surrounded by the agency's personnel.

Three members of the Mexican Navy were also wounded by grenade attacks, and are being taken to Mexico City for medical attention, but without life-threatening injuries.

Not a lot to say, other than a) the fact that Calderón is commenting on it at all must mean that they are pretty sure that it is in fact Arturo Beltrán Leyva, and; b) lots of passive voice there Felipe! Get on your speech writers about that.
