Military sources in Mexico and the United States confirmed
to process the existence of a plan to catch "or run" El Chapo Guzman,
prepared by the Pentagon and the Mexican government proposed and accepted in principle
by President Calderon. Virtually copy of the plan that led to the killing of
Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan, the plan would be carried out exclusively by
members of the Navy of the United States, without any intervention by military
or police elements Mexicans. Only outright rejection of the high command of the
Mexican military has stopped ... But the Pentagon will raise with the hope that
the next government will accept imminent.
Given how difficult it has been to catch Joaquin El Chapo
Guzman, the U.S. government has prepared a plan to capture the drug lord, the
best known leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, in an operation similar to the one
carried out in Pakistan last year to give Osama Bin Laden, leader of Al Qaeda.
Military sources in Mexico and the United States confirms
the existence of the plan, which was drawn up by the Pentagon several months
ago and is now being held because it is designed to be run only by Americans,
an idea that is not seen with pleasure by their Mexican counterparts. The plan
was presented to even and Felipe Calderon, who promoted it among the armed
forces. And although there was a sharp rejection from the Army and Navy of
Mexico, Washington has not thrown away and propose it to the next president.
The plan exists from an order of the Department of Defense
and the Northern Command has it considered a priority mission said a senior
source in the Mexican Army by mutual agreement remains anonymous. The Pentagon
claims due to the constant "failed attempts" of the Mexican
government to arrest Guzman Loera since he escaped from maximum security prison
in Puente Grande, Jalisco, in January 2001, during the presidency of Vicente
Fox
El Chapo has escaped at least six times to stop mounted
fences, military source confirmed. The most recent occurred last February in
coastal mansion in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, one day after Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton, was on an official visit at the spa.
Accurate to capture the capo is provided by U.S. agencies,
mainly in charge of the fight against drugs, the DEA, so that each "failed
attempt" the Mexican government has irritated Washington. For Mexico the
eventual U.S. military intervention in Mexico to take over the arrest of Chapo
is "very risky", because in addition to a clear violation of the
Constitution would cause all kinds of problems, the military official said.
The proposed operation is detailed in the Safety Plan to
Support Mexico, designed by military strategists Special Forces Department of
Defense United States, the Pentagon. The execution of the operation would be in
charge of the main U.S. special forces, Navy SEALs (an acronym of the words is,
air, land), formed by Navy commandos trained for covert actions in enemy
territory by sea, air or earth.
The operation would be a copy of the Pentagon secretly
executed in Pakistan to "capture or kill" bin Laden, who was finally
killed in his hideout in May 2011. Special Forces helicopters reached the
Muslim leader's bunker on the outskirts of Islamabad, near the Pakistani
Military Academy. From that experience Pentagon controls Calderon explained the
proposal to stop the Chapo, in what is defined as an operation "simple,
quick and surgical".
In the mountains of Sinaloa, where Guzman Loera in and out
at will, capturing three teams require special seals with the support of three
digital high-tech aircraft and remotely operated armed with missiles, according
to the plan. Special Forces would move by Sinaloa and Durango in
helicopter gunships. At the target act two teams on the ground and another
would stay in the air, backed by drones, to prevent any retaliation by the
criminal group.
In 10 or 15 minutes the two assault teams to target and
catch him, according to the operational proposal, should it find eliminate
resistance in the act, like all his guard. As with the mastermind of the
terrorist attacks on the U.S. on September 11, 2001, if the target would run to
pick up the corpse.
The operation against El Chapo would be observed and
directed "in real time" from the headquarters of the Pentagon's
Northern Command and even from the offices of the National Security Council in
the White House. In the operation against bin Laden, President Barack Obama
went step by step from the White House the work of seals, although in the case
of Mexico Pentagon officials would be responsible for monitoring the operation.
In the Mexican military plan does not fit, or the Army or
the Navy. Mexican soldiers enter only to present the results. According to the
military command consulted Process is clear that the United States has the
capacity to capture Chapo in Mexico, but Mexican participation to simulate the
Americans would have to dress in uniforms of any national corporation such as
the Federal Police.
For the Northern Command, created in 2002 by the Pentagon
after the attacks of Al Qaeda in order to carry out operations
"sensitive" to "the security of Canada, United States and
Mexico" capture Chapo is considered a mission. Washington equates to
Mexican drug cartels to terrorists and therefore considers a threat to its
national security. Consequently, the Northern Command assumed its obligation to
act against drug traffickers, the commander added.
