Salazar denies lying about US role in capture of drug lord ‘El Mayo’
Ken Salazar denied lying about U.S. involvement in the capture of drug lord Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, following accusations from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and the Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR). The arrest occurred in New Mexico in July 2024, with Guzmán López admitting to orchestrating Zambada’s kidnapping. Salazar claimed U.S. resources were not used in the operation, while a report suggested FBI involvement.
