Mexican soldiers have captured ten members of the Sinaloa cartel faction led by Aureliano Guzman Loera, known as "El Guano." The operation, which apprehended three of the drug lord's closest allies, was significantly aided by U.S. intelligence.
The detentions occurred in Tamazula, a mountainous area influencing "El Guano." Among those captured were his "right-hand man," chief bodyguard, and logistics aide. The U.S. State Department has offered a $5 million reward for information leading to Aureliano Guzman's arrest.
