SEATTLE - Following the recent arrest of two high-profile Mexican drug lords, a Virginia-based private security firm is urging Americans traveling to Mexico in the next few days to be cautious and monitor trusted sources to avoid any getting caught up in a violent flare-up. Mexican government officials at the border state of Chihuahua also raised concerns over possible violence and are preparing for a "worst-case scenario," said Public Safety Director Gilberto Loya on July 29. "Why prepare? Because it is not clear what happened. There could be a different response from criminal groups if it was a surrender or a betrayal between cells of the same cartel," Loya added.

Somewhere in solitary at the Florence Supermax prison in Colorado where he’s jailed for life, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán must be smiling.

That’s because US officials say Guzman’s son, Joaquín Guzmán López, apparently tricked the world’s savviest and most powerful drug kingpin, Sinaloa cartel founder Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, into boarding a small plane in Hermosillo, Mexico that ultimately landed in the US — where both were arrested.

It was a dramatic end to Zambada’s career as a cartel kingpin.
