the net. authorities say he was wounded in the head and leg. the missed opportunity came days before el chapo was leaped after an cape from the high security prison in july. >> the sound of tunnelling can be heard, and the voices of men. incredibly, the guards did not react to the barrage of noise until long after joaquin guzman vanished. it was the second team they escaped from a mexican gaol. time and again. el chapo embarrassed the government. it became a single of corruption and competence. and at least recapturing the drug lord compensates for that lack of credibility. despite a long list of crimes, including murder, money laundering and crime.
