墨西哥检察官周日表示,4名缉毒特工在从墨西哥北部一场大规模缉毒行动返回途中遭遇车祸身亡,其中包括2名美国使馆工作人员。

奇瓦瓦州州检察官塞萨尔·华雷gui向记者透露,经过三个月的调查,警方于周五和周六在北部奇瓦瓦州莫雷洛斯地区突袭了六家秘密合成毒品实验室。

他表示,遇难者所乘坐的车辆在由五辆汽车组成的官方车队中担任头车,当时车辆滑出道路并坠入峡谷。

华雷gui称,遇难的美国公民是“教官军官”,他们正在执行美墨反毒合作框架下的“训练任务”。

华雷gui将这些制毒工场称为“该国迄今发现的最大规模化学毒品生产基地之一”。

在一份新闻稿中,奇瓦瓦州总检察长办公室确认了两名车祸遇难者的身份:州调查机构第一指挥官佩德罗·罗曼·奥塞格拉·塞万提斯,以及特工曼努埃尔·赫纳罗·门德斯·蒙特斯。

“我们向在这场悲惨事故中遇难者的家属致以最深切的哀悼和慰问,”该办公室在一份声明中说道。

车祸中遇难的两名美国使馆官员的身份尚未公开。美国驻墨西哥大使罗纳德·约翰逊在X平台上发文悼念遇难者。

“我们向他们的奉献精神以及为应对我们这个时代最严峻挑战之一所付出的不懈努力致敬,”约翰逊说道。

“这场悲剧庄严地提醒我们,致力于保护我们社区的墨西哥和美国官员所面临的风险,”他补充道,这场事故“坚定了我们继续完成他们未竟使命的决心”。

近期数月来,墨西哥已宣布捣毁多处制毒工场。此前美国前总统特朗普曾威胁可能采取军事行动,以遏制墨西哥境内的贩毒 cartel。

今年2月,墨西哥海军人员在该国杜兰戈地区发现一处隐蔽的制毒实验室,并“销毁”了超过5000磅甲基苯丙胺。今年1月,官方宣布在杜兰戈州、锡那罗亚州和米却肯州的秘密制毒工场中缴获超过1500磅甲基苯丙胺。

2 U.S. Embassy officials among 4 anti-narcotic agents killed in car crash following drug lab raid in Mexico

Four anti-narcotics agents, including two American embassy workers, were killed in a car accident while returning from a major drug raid in northern Mexico, prosecutors said Sunday.

On Friday and Saturday, six clandestine synthetic drug labs were raided in Morelos, in the northern state of Chihuahua, following a three-month investigation, state prosecutor Cesar Jauregui told reporters.

The victims’ vehicle, which was leading an official convoy of five cars, skidded off the road and plunged into a ravine, he said.

The Americans killed were “instructor officers” who “were carrying out training tasks” as part of anti-drug cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico, Jauregui said.

Jauregui called the labs “one of the largest sites found in the country where chemical drugs were produced.”

In a news release, the state attorney general’s office identified two of the crash victims as first commander of the state investigation agency Pedro Román Oseguera Cervantes and officer Manuel Genaro Méndez Montes.

“We extend our deepest condolences and our sympathies to the families of those who died in this tragic accident,” the office said in a statement.

The identities of the two U.S. Embassy officials killed in the crash were not released. U.S. Ambassador Ronald Johnson paid tribute to the victims in an X post.

“We honor their dedication and tireless efforts to confront one of the greatest challenges of our time,” Johnson said.

“This tragedy is a solemn reminder of the risks faced by those Mexican and U.S. officials who are dedicated to protecting our communities,” he said, adding it “strengthens our resolve to continue their mission.”

Mexico has announced the dismantling of numerous drug labs in recent months after President Trump threatened possible military action to curb cartels in the country.

In February, Mexican naval personnel discovered a hidden drug laboratory in the country’s Durango region and “neutralized” over 5,000 pounds of methamphetamine. In January, authorities announced more than 1,500 pounds of meth were seized from clandestine laboratories in the states of Durango, Sinaloa and Michoacán.
