A massive manhunt is underway in Mexico after the country's most notorious drug lord escapes from high security prison. Sean Carberry reports.
The head of Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa Cartel fled Altiplano prison on Saturday night through a system of tunnels that includes a 1,500-metre-long tunnel that ends at a nearby town.
"The jury found that Guzman lead the Sinaloa cartel, one of the largest and most dangerous drug cartels in the world, and that he's responsible for violence including murders and the smuggling of massive amounts of narcotics into the United States over a period of decades" says US attorney Richard Donoghue, after a jury finds 'El Chapo' guilty on all counts. SOUNDBITE
Seven people were killed, including two children, with 12 more injured when 7 gunmen armed with assault rifles stormed Roosevelt Hospital in Guatemala City to free a jailed gang leader during a medical check-up on Wednesday. The gangster, identified as 29-year-old Anderson Daniel Cabrera Cifuentes, an alleged member of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13 gang, was brought to the hospital by three guards for a general check-up at 8:19 AM local time. The shooting started as soon as he entered the premises.
The world’s most notorious drug lord has been transferred to another prison as he fights extradition to the United States.
