Mexican most-wanted drug lord ‘El Chapo’ CAPTURED

Notorious drug lord Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman Loera has been recaptured six months after his elaborate escape from Mexico’s most secure prison, according to the country’s president.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto wrote on his Twitter account on Friday: ‘Mission accomplished: we have him.’

‘My appreciation to the Security Cabinet of the Government of the Republic for this important achievement for the rule of law in Mexico,’ he added.

Mexican marines captured El Chapo (which means ‘the short one’ in Spanish) during a raid in the town of Los Mochis, located in the kingpin’s home state of Sinloa. Five cartel gangsters were killed and another six arrested in the raid, while one marine sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

The Mexican police say the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Marshals aided in El Chapo’s recapture.

It is not yet clear whether El Chapo will be extradited to the US, but he was seen being bundled on to a plane by security officials late on Friday afternoon.
