墨西哥总统要求就一起车祸作出解释，该车祸造成两名与贩毒集团相关行动有关的美国官员身亡，这一事件暴露出外界对美国在墨西哥境内参与行动的不同说法。
福克斯新闻通过一名美国官员独立证实，两名遇难者为中情局工作人员，中情局拒绝置评。
据当局透露，这起发生在北部奇瓦瓦州的车祸造成两名美国使馆人员和两名墨西哥官员身亡，当时他们正从一处秘密制毒实验室的行动现场返回。
墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·欣鲍姆表示，她的政府并未得知有美国人员参与相关行动，并已下令调查是否有人违反墨西哥主权或国家安全法律。

“我们不知道奇瓦瓦州与美国驻墨西哥使馆人员之间存在任何直接工作或协调行动，”欣鲍姆周二在新闻发布会上表示，并补充道墨西哥政府正向当地当局和美国方面寻求信息。
她强调，墨西哥不允许与外国政府开展联合行动，称合作仅限于“在明确界定的框架内……符合我国主权要求”的情报共享。
但墨西哥奇瓦瓦州官员给出了不同说法，称美国人员是与当地当局开展例行合作的一部分。
“两名来自美国使馆的教官军官在执行训练任务时身亡，这是我们与美国当局常规交流的一部分，”州检察官塞萨尔·豪雷吉·莫雷诺周二在新闻发布会上表示。
他补充称，美国人员“始终以咨询支持和培训的方式为我们提供帮助，这是我们常规交流的一部分”。
专家表示，这类角色往往超出课堂教学范畴。
“长期以来，中情局一直支持禁毒行动，并与缉毒局（DEA）、军方及伙伴国政府密切合作，”世界政治研究所高级副总裁克里斯汀·鲍林说道。
拥有拉美反叛乱经验的鲍林表示，被称为“训练”的工作可能会让美国人员与伙伴部队一同身处行动现场。
“人们以为训练只是在教室里进行——并非如此，”她说，“这些官员会与伙伴部队合作，制定战略或使用包括无人机在内的技术。”
“在行动开展时他们出现在现场，并且容易受到攻击，这完全合乎情理。”
根据墨西哥法律，外国安全合作通常需接受联邦监督，但实际上这类合作关系可能在地方层面展开，有时国家领导人并不会直接参与每一次行动。
这起事件正值美国在墨西哥打击强大贩毒集团行动中的角色紧张关系升级之际。
唐纳德·特朗普总统加大了对墨西哥的施压，要求其打击贩毒团伙，而近期的行动在很大程度上依赖美国的支持，包括为定位贩毒集团目标提供监视和情报共享。
但欣鲍姆明确反对任何美国在墨西哥境内开展的单边行动。
鲍林表示，欣鲍姆可能并不清楚具体任务细节，但她面临着将本国政府与任何涉及美国人员的行动划清界限的政治压力。
“国内存在要求展现政府掌控力、不允许外部势力接管的政治压力，”鲍林说道。
“如果她不知道行动细节，我会感到震惊——除非这是一项需要总统批准的行动。”
目前尚不清楚车祸起因，当局也未表示是否怀疑存在谋杀行为。

官员们表示，美国人并未参与突袭行动本身，他们在行动结束后与墨西哥调查人员会面之前，一直在别处开展训练工作。
鲍林表示，事件情况可能永远无法完全明朗，她在没有证据的情况下提出一种可能性：贩毒集团的参与可能很难在公开场合得到证实。
“行动进行时他们出现在现场，这完全合乎情理，随后他们可能会面临这到底是意外还是蓄意袭击的风险，”她说，“我认为此事永远不会公开。”

Mexico’s president is demanding answers after a crash killed two U.S. officials tied to a cartel-related operation, an incident exposing conflicting accounts over American involvement inside the country.
Fox News independently confirmed via a U.S. official that the two deceased individuals worked for the CIA, which declined to comment.
The crash in the northern state of Chihuahua killed two U.S. Embassy personnel and two Mexican officials as they were returning from an operation targeting a clandestine drug lab, according to authorities.
President Claudia Sheinbaum said her administration was not informed of any U.S. presence and has ordered an investigation into whether Mexican sovereignty or national security laws were violated.

MEXICO BROKE INTERNATIONAL LAW WITH THE CARTELS AND AMERICANS SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES
“We were not aware of any direct work or coordination between the state of Chihuahua and personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Mexico,” Sheinbaum said Tuesday at a news conference, adding her government is seeking information from both local authorities and the United States.
She stressed that Mexico does not permit joint operations with foreign governments, saying cooperation is limited to intelligence-sharing “within a clearly defined framework … in keeping with our sovereignty.”
But officials in Chihuahua, Mexico, offered a different account, describing the U.S. personnel as part of routine cooperation with local authorities.
“Two instructor officers from the U.S. Embassy died while carrying out training duties as part of the exchange we generally and routinely have with U.S. authorities,” state prosecutor César Jáuregui Moreno said Tuesday at a news conference.
He added the Americans had “always supported us with advisory support and training, as part of our regular exchange.”
Experts say those roles often extend beyond the classroom.
“The CIA has been supporting counter-narcotics efforts for some time and works closely with the DEA, the military and partner governments,” said Christine Balling, a senior vice president at the Institute of World Politics.
Balling, counterinsurgency expert with experience in Latin America, said the role described as “training” can place U.S. personnel alongside partner forces in operational settings.

“People think training is just in the classroom — it’s not,” she said. “These officers would be working with partner forces on things like strategy or technology, including drones.
“It makes perfect sense that they would be on site when an operation is carried out and be vulnerable.”
Under Mexican law, foreign security cooperation is generally subject to federal oversight, but, in practice, those relationships can play out at the local level, sometimes without national leaders being directly involved in every operation.
The incident comes as tensions grow over the U.S. role in Mexico’s fight against powerful drug cartels.
President Donald Trump has increased pressure on Mexico to crack down on trafficking groups, while recent operations have relied heavily on U.S. support, including surveillance and intelligence-sharing to locate cartel targets.
But Sheinbaum has drawn a firm line against any unilateral U.S. activity inside Mexico.

Balling said Sheinbaum likely was not aware of the specific mission but faces political pressure to distance herself from any American-involved operations.
“There are domestic political pressures to show that the government is in control and not allowing outside forces to take over,” Balling said.
“I would be shocked if she knew the details, unless it was the type of operation that required a president’s sign-off.”
It remains unclear what caused the crash, and authorities have not said whether foul play is suspected.

Officials said the Americans were not involved in the raid itself and had been conducting training work elsewhere before meeting with Mexican investigators after the operation.
Balling said the circumstances may never be fully clear, raising the possibility — without evidence — that cartel involvement could be difficult to confirm publicly.
“It makes perfect sense that they would be on site when an operation would go down and then be vulnerable to whether this was actually an accident or an intentional hit,” she said. “I don’t think that would ever be made public.”
