Mexico charged 14 federal police officers on Friday with the attempted murder of two CIA operatives after the U.S. agents’ vehicle was sprayed with bullets in a brazen daylight attack that security officials suspect was ordered by a drug cartel.
The ambush was initially blamed on a case of mistaken identity, but Mexican security sources said the fact that police officers used AK47 assault rifles and were not wearing uniforms suggested a gang-orchestrated hit.
