More than three months after being captured by U.S. authorities in Texas, top drug lord Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada's case continues to be a main topic of conversation between Mexican and American officials. Since Zambada's capture in July, both governments have gone back and forth over conflicting narratives surrounding the indicent.
The case took another turn this week, with U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar responding to Mexico's Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero over claims that Mexico is still waiting on information that led to Zambada's arrest, such as the pilot's identity, the plane's arrival in the U.S. and wjhich American officials knew of Joaquín Guzmán López's plans to turn himself in and betray his godfather Zambada.
