Mexico’s navy has held a ceremony to honour 14 marines who died when the helicopter they were travelling in crashed in the north of the country. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the marines had been supporting the operation in which drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero was captured on Friday. The navy said that the crash had been an accident and that its cause was still being investigated. Only one of those aboard the Black Hawk helicopter survived the crash. President López Obrador said it had come down shortly before landing in Los Mochis – in northern Sinaloa state – “after fulfilling its mission of lending support to those carrying out the arrest warrant for Rafael Caro Quintero”. Quintero – who was on the FBI’s 10 most wanted list – was one of the co-founders in the late 1970s of the now-defunct Guadalajara drug cartel.(BBC)…[+]
