Airport gun attack erupts as cartel soldiers fire at planes in full-scale battle in revenge for arrest of El Chapo’s son

MEXICAN cartel gunmen have invaded an airport and opened fire at army planes in terrifying scenes. Dramatic video shows cartel fighters wielding weapons storming Culiacan International Airport in the western Mexican province of Sinaloa. Drug cartel gunmen from the fearsome Sinaloa cartel have launched the violent raid in revenge for the capture of El Chapo’s son Ovidio. The cartel’s armed wing has also set up roadblocks along the highways of Sinaloa in an attempt to recapture the son of the notorious drug kingpin, who was seized earlier on Thursday. Today’s attack on the international airport came after the Mexican Army tried to bring in equipment through the terminal in an attempt to quash the violent rebellion. Organised crime have seized various parts of the city of Culiacan, a stronghold of the Sinaloa cartel, carjacking city residents and torching vehicles in an apparent response to the arrest.
