Two U.S. officials and two Mexican agents were killed in a car crash in Mexico. The two Americans have now been identified as members of the CIA's Ground Branch, and the two Mexicans were from the Chihuahua State Investigation Agency. The four agents had conducted a raid against a drug laboratory in Morelos prior to the crash. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum alleges the CIA agents were present without the federal government's consent or knowledge, suggesting the Chihuahua state government is independently collaborating with the CIA against cartels, and she has promised an investigation.
