CIA Officers Killed in Mexico

The crash, which also claimed the lives of two Mexican investigators, took place in a rugged mountainous region of Chihuahua state.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has demanded a full explanation, stating she was unaware of the joint security operation.

The deaths have reignited a fierce debate over the extent of U.S. intelligence involvement in Mexico's internal security matters.

The CIA has declined to comment publicly on the identities or mission of the deceased personnel.
