MEXICO CITY – A Mexican state investigator has disclosed new details about U.S. officials who died in a vehicle accident in northern Mexico last month, revealing that one of the victims had been observed with a firearm just days before the fatal crash.
Wendy Chavez, who leads a specialized investigative unit within the Chihuahua attorney general’s office examining the incident, stated that one of the deceased Americans had been spotted carrying a weapon at a local security facility prior to the accident. Intelligence sources have indicated the victims were CIA personnel.
Mexican law typically prohibits U.S. government officials from carrying weapons while operating within the country’s borders.
