A deadly car explosion near Mexico City is now being described as a second alleged covert CIA-linked operation inside Mexico, raising new questions about how far U.S. intelligence activity has expanded in the fight against drug cartels and whether Mexican authorities knew enough about it.
CNN reported Tuesday that the blast, which destroyed a vehicle carrying an alleged cartel operative earlier this spring near the Felipe Ángeles International Airport, or AIFA, was not an accident but a targeted attack allegedly facilitated by CIA officers on the ground.
