Notorious Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who broke out of a maximum security prison through an elaborate tunnel seven months ago, has been recaptured, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto announced Friday.
"Mission accomplished — we have him," Peña Nieto said on Twitter.
The Mexican Navy said in a statement that marines, acting on a tip, raided a home before dawn in the city of Los Mochis, in Guzman’s home state of Sinaloa. The assault team was fired upon from inside the structure.
Five suspects were killed and six others arrested. One marine was wounded, but did not sustain life-threatening injuries.
