Deaths raise questions about U.S. operations against cartels

Season 2026 Episode 84 | 5m 51s

An investigation is underway after four officials, including two Americans, were killed in a car crash in Mexico. It's being called an accident by the local government, but it happened after an operation to destroy drug labs in a mountainous area. It's been widely reported that the two Americans were CIA officers. Amna Nawaz discussed more with John Feeley, a former U.S. ambassador to Panama.
