El Chapo's hometown in Mexico considers drug-trafficking museum

The home town of Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is considering housing a drug trafficking museum, the mayor was quoted as saying on Thursday, in the hope of attracting tourists to the area.

The museum, in the town of Badiraguato in the northwestern state of Sinaloa, could tell the stories of various drug capos who were born in the region, the heartland of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, Mexican newspaper Reforma reported.
