Operation Black Swan: El Chapo Raid Helmet Cam Footage
Published 3 years ago
The following video footage documents the Jan. 8, 2016 joint operation between US Delta Force and Mexican special forces (Operation Black Swan) which resulted in the capture of the Sinaloa Cartel leader, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.
Reportedly, El Chapo wasn't even the intended target of the operation. The Mexican and US forces were executing the raid in an attempt to capture one of El Chapo's top assassins (sicarios), and the fugitive boss just happened to be at the residence.
El Chapo fled the property through hidden tunnels and was apprehended nearby. Five cartel members were killed in the firefight and six more were wounded. One Mexican marine was also wounded. Several military weapons were captured at the residence, including heavy sniper rifles, grenade launchers, rocket launchers and armored vehicles.
