NPR's David Welna reports from Mexico City that another Mexican general has been arrested for allegedly working with a drug cartel. This comes just a month after the army general who'd been Mexico's drug czar was sent to prison on similar charges. In the latest case, the general is charged with offering a million-dollar bribe to an anti-drug official to turn a blind eye to the activities of the main cartel in Tijuana. This latest scandal comes as the Senate is set to decide whet her to overturn President Clinton's certification of Mexico as cooperating in the drug war.
