Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the fugitive drug lord, is believed to be suffering from injuries to his leg and face as he continues to evade Mexican authorities.
The Mexican Marines zeroed in last week on the Sinaloa cartel kingpin after U.S. drug agents intercepted cell phone signals suggesting “El Chapo” was hiding at a ranch near Cosala in the rugged Sierra Madre mountains in western Mexico, according to three sources with knowledge of the operation. The massive manhunt continues amid new revelations about Guzman's escape from a maximum-security prison in Altiplano in July.
Marines raided the ranch in helicopters, but were forced to turn back after taking fire from suspected Guzman security forces.
The Marines later entered the camp on foot and discovered cell phones, medication and two-way radios, but Guzman and his accomplices are believed to have fled on ATVs.
Authorities gave chase and believed to have encircled the fugitive within a two-mile radius. But a week and a half after the raid, officials are losing hope that Guzman's capture is imminent.
