2 US officials killed in Mexico worked for the CIA, AP sources say | AP News
Two U.S. officials killed in a vehicle crash as they returned from destroying a clandestine drug lab in northern Mexico over the weekend were working for the CIA, according to a U.S. official and two other people familiar with the matter.
Two Mexican investigators also were killed in the crash, which Mexican authorities said occurred while the convoy was returning from an operation to destroy drug labs of criminal groups. There have been discrepancies in the public accounts of what happened from U.S. and Mexican officials, which experts say underscores heightened American involvement in security operations in Mexico and across the region.
Local Mexican officials originally claimed they were working with the U.S. on an operation, but later walked those comments back after the effort came under scrutiny from Sheinbaum.
Sheinbaum said she knew nothing of a joint operation between Chihuahua’s government and the U.S. despite reports that the Mexican army was also involved in the raid on the lab.

The four died as they were returning from meeting with Mexican officials in the aftermath of the operation to dismantle a clandestine drug lab in a remote area. Chihuahua’s attorney general, César Jáuregui Moreno, told Mexico’s El Universal newspaper that the Americans did not directly participate in the Mexican raid on the lab, which he called “perhaps one of the largest ever located.”
Mexican officials said the car skidded off the road, fell down a ravine and exploded.
The accident comes amid increasing pressure from President Donald Trump on Mexico to take more action against the cartels, and as the CIA has broadened its counternarcotics operations in the country and elsewhere in Latin America. While Trump has occasionally threatened unilateral U.S. action against the cartels in Mexico, the CIA and other federal agencies have thus far stressed working in partnership with Mexican authorities.
The people familiar with the matter discussed the spy agency’s role in the events in Chihuahua on the condition of anonymity, because of the issue’s sensitivity.
Under CIA Director John Ratcliffe, the agency has taken a larger, more aggressive role in counternarcotics, one of Trump’s top priorities upon assuming office.
The agency has shared more intelligence with Mexican antidrug units and increased training for local counternarcotics units, current and former U.S. officials said. It has flown unarmed drones over Mexico to help track cartel leaders and locate illicit drug labs.
