Operation Mongoose Azteca
Military operation carried by the Mexican government / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Operation Mongoose Azteca[1][2] is the code name for a joint operation carried out by US and Mexican intelligence and military forces to detect the criminal activities of the Sinaloa Cartel and which led to the capture of the son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, Ovidio Guzmán López, aka "El Ratón". After this successful operation, several municipalities including the capital of the state of Sinaloa, Culiacán, were the target of road blockades, gun fights and several other riots, orchestrated by militant forces of the Sinaloa Cartel.[3][4] After constant tracking and joint intelligence activities between the United States and Mexico, a Sinaloa Cartel convoy was located in the town of Jesus María, where Ovidio Guzmán was recaptured.[5]
