US Tip Led Mexican Police to Drug Kingpin in Beach Resort |
|
Acting on intelligence provided by the U.S., Mexican police just missed capturing the world's biggest drug kingpin in a beach resort popular with American tourists 24 hours after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and dozens of other foreign dignitaries were attending meetings in the same town. Mexican federal police nearly grabbed Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, head of the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel, during a late February raid on a mansion in Los Cabos, a tourist town at the southern tip of Baja California. U.S. officials confirmed to ABC News that they provided Mexican authorities with the information that led to the raid. While Guzman escaped, four people were arrested at the house and are in Mexican custody.
