WikiLeaks tells why Mexican drug king is still free | Front page | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "elaborate security system has enabled Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin 'Chapo' Guzman to evade capture thus far, according to a U.S. diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks.
The cable also reveals that the Mexican army has two officers stationed at the El Paso Intelligence Center, and that the army prefers to work closely with U.S. anti-drug agencies because it distrusts its country's civilian law enforcement.
The cable covers a discussion last year between National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair and Mexican Defense Secretary Gen. Guillermo Galvan Galvan.
'(Galvan) noted that they have found 10 to 15 locations where (Guzman) moves, but that 'Chapo' commands the support of a large network of informers and has security circles of up to 300 men that make launching capture operations difficult,' the document said.
Guzman is battling the Carrillo Fuentes drug cartel for control of the Chihuahua state smuggling corridor, which includes border communities like Juarez, Valle de Juarez, Palomas and Ojinaga."
