No one expected Sean Penn to interview the world's most wanted drug kingpin after he escaped prison for the second time. But three months before El Chapo was recaptured by Mexican Marines, he was hanging out with the actor in a jungle for a lengthy Rolling Stone interview. In an interesting turn of events, Penn's discussion with El Chapo has been criticized as "unethical" by politicians and journalists who couldn't score or stomach the interview.

Mexican authorities on Monday said they had nabbed an alleged lieutenant and bodyguard of Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman, the billionaire boss of the Sinaloa drug cartel.

Ten more bodies have been found in the Mexican Gulf coast city of Veracruz, just a week after authorities found another 32 cadavers stashed in two homes, authorities said Saturday.

Mexican authorities Friday detained eight members of the "Zeta Killers" gang blamed for at least 67 recent killings in eastern Veracruz state, the latest flashpoint in the country's drug violence.
