Mexico: Sheinbaum denies CIA involvement in assassination of cartel operative

Source: CBC News [Canadian state media]

“Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday that reports claiming the CIA was involved in a recent targeted assassination outside Mexico City were ‘fictions the size of the universe.’ CNN and the New York Times reported Tuesday that the CIA was involved in the targeted car bombing of a mid-level Sinaloa cartel member on March 28. … Mexico’s Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection Omar Harfuch immediately denied the reports Tuesday evening in a post on social media platform X. CIA spokesperson Liz Lyons followed Harfuch’s post with her own carrying the agency’s official denial.” (05/13/26)
