Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman broke out of jail last year and has been on the run for many months.
No longer - from CNN:
'Mission accomplished': Mexican President says 'El Chapo' caught
Mexican authorities snared drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman in a bloody raid Friday, recapturing one of the world's most notorious and slippery criminals.
"Mission Accomplished," President Enrique Peña Nieto announced via Twitter. "We have him."
Members of Mexico's navy caught Guzman in an operation at about 4:30 a.m. (6:30 a.m. ET) in the coastal city of Los Mochis in Sinaloa state, a senior law enforcement official in Mexico told CNN.
Several people aligned with Guzman died in the raid, the official said. The Mexican navy put the number of dead at five, with six others arrested. No navy personnel were killed, and only one was injured.
Good - one less criminal on the streets. He has ties with terrorist organizations (Hezbollah for one) and although he is somewhat of a popular figure in Mexico (Robin Hood), he is scum and needs to be locked away for life if not hung by the neck until dead.
