Earlier this spring, a mysterious explosion blew up a car carrying an alleged cartel operative in broad daylight on one of Mexico’s busiest highways just outside of its capital city.
Francisco Beltran was killed instantly along with his driver, their bodies found slumped over in their seats after the concentrated blast. Video and pictures of the attack on March 28 show a quick burst of flames with the car continuing to roll forward, drifting off the highway.
Known as “El Payin,” Beltran was accused of being a mid-level member of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of Mexico’s most notorious drug trafficking syndicates, Mexican security analysts and sources familiar with his activities said.
Mexican authorities have maintained extreme secrecy around the explosion, but multiple sources tell CNN that the attack was a targeted assassination, facilitated by CIA operations officers. An explosive device had been hidden inside the vehicle, the State of Mexico’s Attorney General told CNN.
The Beltran operation was part of an expanded, and previously unreported, CIA campaign inside Mexico — spearheaded by the agency’s elite and secretive Ground Branch — to dismantle the entrenched cartel networks, those sources as well as two additional people familiar with the campaign told CNN. President Donald Trump has designated several of those groups foreign terrorist organizations and deemed them to be at war with the United States.
Since last year, CIA operatives inside Mexico have directly participated in deadly attacks on several, mostly mid-level cartel members, the sources said. “The lethality of their operations has been seriously ramped up,” said one of the people briefed on the operations. “It’s a significant expansion of the kind of thing the CIA has been willing to do inside Mexico.”

These people belong in jail.
Is this speculation by CNN?
If it isn’t, we don’t need to expose agents to more risk.
multiple sources tell CNN. That usually means someone is making shit up and feeding it to Certainly Not News (CNN).
Why is CNN blabbing about this? Traitors. Putting the agents in danger.
Rand Paul probably leaked this to CNN, out of concern for poor fishermen.
Does anybody know when the sale of Warner/CNN to Paramount becomes final? It can’t be soon enough. A House cleaning of CNN will be in order shortly after the sale is final.
The CIA.
You don’t know.
You don’t want to know.
You have to admit, it is clever to pass your classified knowledge on to your employers publicly, in the clear - that way you don’t get caught trying to pass it clandestinely.
...and if you do know, they have to kill you..............
They're always picking one side. Follow the money.
