Mexico Denies US Agents’ Authorized Operation
The Mexican government stated that two U.S. federal agents recently killed in a car crash in Chihuahua were not authorized to operate in Mexico, despite being involved in destroying a clandestine drug lab. The agents, confirmed to be from the CIA, entered the country under different statuses and their exact role in the operation remains under review. Mexico’s Ministry of Security maintains that foreign agents are not permitted to participate in operations within the national territory, and the government was unaware of such involvement. This statement comes after conflicting accounts regarding the incident and U.S. involvement from officials of both nations.
