MEXICO CITY, May 12 – Mexican government officials strongly disputed a CNN report on Tuesday that alleged the Central Intelligence Agency orchestrated a deadly security operation targeting a cartel member near the nation’s capital.
Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch took to social media platform X to firmly deny the claims, stating that Mexico “categorically rejects any (allegations that attempt) to normalize, justify or suggest the existence of lethal, covert or unilateral operations by foreign agencies on Mexican soil.”
The CNN report had claimed earlier Tuesday that a CIA operation resulted in the death of a cartel member in an explosion that occurred outside Mexico City, but Mexican authorities moved quickly to refute these allegations.
