Sinaloa Cartel gunmen fired at commercial airliners with the hope of forcing the release of one of the sons of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, presuming he is still alive in police custody.
The terror-style attack took place on Thursday morning at the Culiacan International Airport when an Aeromexico passenger jet was moving down a runway for take-off.
The incident came hours after Mexican authorities carried out an operation against Ovidio “El Raton” Guzman, the son of El Chapo and one of the leaders of the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel.. Mexican authorities are expected to provide an update later Thursday. A video shared on social media captured the moment when Sinaloa Cartel hitmen unleash machine guns at the aircraft while authorities take cover.
