EL CHAPO CAPTURED
The Mexican Navy carried out the operation. The navy is seen as less corruptible than the country's police forces and army and has taken the lead in fighting the cartels.
The navy said in a statement that marines, acting on a tip, stormed into a home in the town of Los Mochis, Mexico before dawn.
They were fired on from inside the building. Five suspects were killed and six others, including El Chapo, were arrested.
El Chapo Guzman is the leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel and a master of underground tunnels. He set off a furious manhunt on July 11 when he casually slipped into a hole in his shower at Altiplano prison near Mexico City and fled through a mile-long tunnel outfitted with a motorbike that led to a residential construction site.
