Former Chihuahua Attorney General Faces Treason Charges Over Joint Drug Operation

What happened

Mexico has charged a former attorney general of Chihuahua state with treason over his role in allowing a joint anti-drug operation with U.S. agents. The operation involved dismantling a drug lab and resulted in a car accident that killed two CIA agents and two Mexican state officials. The charges stem from accusations that he launched the operation without informing the federal government.
