Mexico says US agents killed in crash weren’t permitted to operate there
Mexican authorities have stated that the US agents who were killed in a car crash in Tijuana were not authorized to operate within Mexican territory. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening when the vehicle carrying the US agents crashed into a concrete barrier on a major highway.
According to Mexican officials, the agents were on a surveillance mission related to drug trafficking activities. The US embassy in Mexico City confirmed the deaths of the agents but did not provide further details about the nature of their mission. The identities of the agents have not been disclosed.
