CARACAS: Venezuela has captured a major Colombian drug lord known as "El Valenciano," Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos said here Monday during a visit with President Hugo Chavez.

Santos thanked Chavez for the arrest in Venezuela Sunday of Maximiliano Bonilla Orozco, saying it showed the benefits of security cooperation between the two countries.

He was also highly sought by the United States, which put a $5 million reward on his head.

The US State Department alleges that Bonilla Orozco had been linked to the trafficking of several tons of cocaine from Colombia to the United States and the transport of more than $25 million from the United States to Mexico, and had extensive dealings with Mexico's brutal Zetas drug cartel.
