The attorney general's office of Mexico state, adjoining Mexico City, said the suspect, Oscar Osvaldo Garcia Montoya, was detained early on Thursday.

He allegedly admitted to personally taking part in 300 killings and ordering another 600 by members of his organisation, Alfredo Castillo, attorney general of Mexico state, told a news conference.

Garcia Montoya, who led a group nicknamed "The hand with eyes," was a former soldier and had trained with the Kaibiles special operations force of Guatemala's army, authorities said.

He allegedly had links with gangs including the Beltran Leyva cartel and that of drug kingpin Edgar Valdez Villarreal, known as "La Barbie," who was detained in August 2010.

During the operation to arrest him, police mistakenly burst into civilian homes south of Mexico City.
