Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, the last of the old-style Mexican drug kingpins, said in a statement Saturday that he was ambushed and secretly flown to the United States after being invited to a meeting supposedly involving the governor of Sinaloa state.

Zambada, 76, and a son of trafficker Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán were arrested two weeks ago after they landed at an airport outside El Paso, in a mysterious operation that has raised questions about cartel betrayals and possible U.S. involvement.
