CIA Escalates Secret War on Mexican Cartels
An explosive device, reportedly hidden inside a vehicle, killed an alleged Sinaloa Cartel operative and his driver in a targeted assassination on a busy Mexican highway. This incident is part of a previously undisclosed, expanded CIA campaign within Mexico, employing its elite Ground Branch to dismantle entrenched cartel networks. The agency’s involvement has escalated, ranging from intelligence sharing to direct participation in lethal operations, a significant expansion of its previous willingness to act within the country. While the CIA declined to comment, a spokesperson characterized the reporting as false and potentially damaging.
