Sedena detained 2 men and seized
a plane with 1,205 bricks of cocaine (1,356 kgs) at the airport of Palenque,
Chiapas.
The incident occurred last
Saturday night. After trying to enter Mexican territory through Calakmul, to
land on a clandestine runway, the aircraft was detected by the control radars
of the Mexican Air Force, which deployed an air operation to intercept it.
Faced with the maneuvers of the
Mexican government aircraft, the plane left the national airspace and returned
to Guatemalan territory.
In a second attempt, it planned
to land in the vicinity of the El Desengaño community, in the municipality of
Candelaria, Campeche, where a few months ago another plane was intercepted with
a shipment of cocaine.
Neither was possible, after the
harassment of Mexican aircraft, the pilot returned to Chapin territory and
moments later he entered Mexican territory again through Tenosique, Tabasco.
The Air Force and Navy aircraft
were asked to land at the Palenque International Airport, where an operation
was already deployed on the ground ready to capture the crew.
The Navy, Sedena, and the
National Guard approached the white XB-DAP narco-plane, inside which was a
cocaine shipment.
The aircraft with its cargo
arrived from Colombia.
This is not the first time that
the Palenque International Airport has been used by federal forces to force
forced landings of ships with drug shipments. Although on other occasions, the
inhabitants of the area have registered air movements at midnight at the
airport.
"at midnight at the airport."

Loosing the load and the plane and get arrested, great job guys. Who will get killed now in revenge or failing to deliver or paying the load?

ReplyDeleteDo all major cartels operate in Chiapas?
ReplyDeleteAll major cartels operate everywhere in Mexico. But there are areas where certain groups originate from and are dominant.
DeleteThose pilots will be guarded 24/7 & have their familys moved if they have one.
