An armed group of Ivan Archivaldo Guzman, son of El Chapo Guzman, detained and assaulted Al Jazeera journalists when confusing them with another delinquent group linked to Damaso Lopez "El Licenciado", in Villa Juarez, Navolato.

The group of journalists were held for 45 minutes and were later released after the armed group realized their mistake. However the journalists were stripped of their vehicles, work tools and cell phones, and then set free in a field a kilometer from the Villamoros community.

The victims had arrived in Sinaloa to work on a report on agricultural workers and violence, but in the course of carrying out their work were intercepted by the armed group.

According to Noroeste, the journalists contacted the agency in Washington, where they requested assistance from the Federal Police, who contacted the Army to transfer them to Culiacan, where they are filing a complaint with Public Prosecutors Office. . .

Too many “Al” and “El” in this story.

“’another’ delinquent group”? Certainly he should have written “’a’ delinquent group”, right?

Couldn’t they hear an Arabic accent? You don’t find many cartel members down there sounding so foreign. Or maybe that’s not uncommon. If you are El Chapo’s son, everybody looks suspicious.

I’m confused. I thought Chapitos was a new item on the menu at Taco Bell. Guess I should pay attention to the TV.
