An accused teen hit man has been detained in Mexico, authorities have said

Authorities detained 14-year-old Edgar Jimenez on suspicion of working as a drug-cartel hit man, a spokeswoman for the Mexican attorney general's office said. An official at the Mexican Secretary of National Defense also confirmed the arrest but would say little more. Soldiers detained the teenager and two of his sisters at an airport about 10 miles south of the capital of the state of Morelos, in central Mexico, the newspaper El Universal reported.
