They Killed El Chapo aka the Most Wanted Man alive?

Where you hear that?

The world's most powerful drug lord, Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzman, has been killed in a gun battle between drug gangs, Guatemalan authorities suspect.

The 58-year-old head of the Sinaloa cartel is thought to have been among the bodies left after the shoot-out in a remote rural area of Peten, in Guatemala.

Residents who witnessed the clashes have told authorities that one of the two dead men resembled the Mexican drug baron.

Police and soldiers are to search the area in an attempt to locate the scene of the fight on the border with Mexico where drug violence has increased.

Joaquín Archivaldo Guzman Loera, also known as 'Shorty Guzman' because of his 5ft6in height, is one of America's most wanted criminals.

He has been the most powerful drug lord since his rival was captured in 2003 and since 2009 has been named every year by Forbes as one of the world’s most powerful people with an estimated fortune of \$1bn.

Last week he was named Chicago's Public Enemy No 1, a name not given to any criminal since Al Capone.

JR Davis, president of the Chicago Crime Commission, said: "Not since the Chicago Crime Commission's first Public Enemy No. 1 has any criminal deserved this title more than Joaquín Guzman."

Chicago is one of the Sinaloa's most important cities, both as a place to sell drugs but also as a hub to distribute them across the US.

The US sees him as such a threat that it has put a \$5m reward for information leading to his capture.

The Drug Enforcement Agency believe he has surpassed the infamous drug lord of the 1980s, Pablo Escobar, in terms of both his notoriety and the scale of his operation.

He has been in hiding since escaping from a Mexican prison in a laundry cart in 2001.

Interior Minister Mauricio Lopez Bonilla said that police and soldiers would begin searching the area on foot and in the air at first light today.

However, the authorities have stressed they had only received reports of the battle from local people.

Government spokesman Francisco Cuevas told Guatevision Television that two drug gangs had clashed in Peten.

"We have to wait for all the technical information in order to determine if, in fact, one of the dead is of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzman," Cuevas said.

Interior Department spokeswoman Carla Herrera said that one of the victims physically resembled the drug lord.

She said officials had asked the Mexican government to send Guzman's fingerprints to compare them to the man found inside a vehicle and to send investigators.

Peten province is an isolated area of jungle and ranches where 27 ranch workers were massacred in 2011 by the Zetas drug gang, a top rival for Guzman's Sinaloa drug cartel.
 
I dunno I guess I don't know much information about him - but it seems him and other cartels have done ALOT of terrible things for the Mexican Territories, along with the massive amount of drugs they've pumped into the US


...I guess I don't understand why people feel so sympathetic for someone who so clearly lived a life focused on such atrocities
 
At least we don't look stupid responding to ourselves.
You've officially joined the group of a dozen or so NTers who always feel the need to try and "get me"

Americans want to get high and the Mexicans simply supplied them and made money in the process in the same way that people who sell vacuum cleaners, TV's, soda or whatever else, that folks want, do.

Because drugs are illegal, they have to be sold in the black market and thus have no government provided property rights over their product and their cash revenues. When you cannot call the police and you have desirable products and lots of cash you need muscle because thieves, rival drug dealers and the corrupt Mexican police try to take your stuff, you fight back and committ what some might call "atrocities."

The fascist and corrupt government in Mexico City wants to have total control over all of Mexico so they can shake down their own people. Folks like Mr. Guzman provide an alternative and thus Washington and Mexico City want him eliminated.
