CIA officers killed in Mexico

The deaths of two CIA officers in Chihuahua state have raised fresh questions about the extent of U.S. involvement in Mexican counternarcotics operations.

The officers were traveling with Mexican investigators when their vehicle plunged into a ravine following a successful raid on a major cartel facility.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has demanded a full explanation of the operation, claiming her administration was not fully briefed on the U.S. role.

The incident highlights the ongoing and often secretive security cooperation between the two nations amid a broader crackdown on drug trafficking.
