Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is asking the warring factions of the Sinaloa cartel terrorizing the capital city of Culiacán to act "responsibly” so no one else gets killed.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has dismissed allegations from his country's jailed ex-security chief that he has links to drug cartels.

The violence was ignited by the July arrest of reclusive Sinaloa cartel leader Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada in Texas, Lopez Obrador said. He also said the “instability and clashes” that Sinaloa was now facing were the result of the arrest in what he said was a “totally illegal” operation.
