() – This Tuesday, the Government of Mexico ruled out the explosion of a car bomb in the municipality of Culiacán, Sinaloa, in the northwest of the country. Omar García Harfuch, Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection of the country, said that the explosion was “apparently” due to a “drone-type device.” Until this Sunday, at least 52 people had died in the wave of violence that hit the state, according to data from the local Prosecutor’s Office.
García Harfuch intervened during the daily press conference of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and reiterated that the wave of violence in Sinaloa was triggered by “a specific situation, a few months ago,” which caused “a fight between two groups.”
Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, son of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, were arrested in US territory on July 25. The incident caused diplomatic friction with the administration of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who maintained – without evidence – that the operation had been part of an “agreement” between drug traffickers and Washington, a version that was denied by the United States ambassador in Mexico. , Ken Salazar.
The violence in Sinaloa had already caused the death, as of October of this year, of at least 190 people.
