Proceso (Translated by Borderland Beat): A floral arrangement with about 70 red roses, was seen Monday November 2 in the Jardines de Humaya cemetery in Culiacan, Sinaloa.
An all capital written message in dark letters surrounding the floral arrangement reads, "FROM: JOAQUIN GUZMAN LOERA, TO: PERRILLO.

Sinaloa Cartel Boss Smuggled Drugs from Mexico into U.S. Using Various Means
Note: It seems strange that we have these US court filings on El Chapo only now that they do NOT have him in custody. There are still a lot of questions about whether the US ever requested extradition while El Chapo was being held and just exactly what the government's relationship with the Sinaloa Cartel is.
Latin American Herald Tribune: Fugitive Sinaloa cartel boss Joaquin “El Chapo” (Shorty) Guzman used planes, submarines, trains, sailboats and tunnels to smuggle narcotics from Mexico into the United States, court filings show.
The man who became public enemy No. 1 in the United States after the death of terrorist Osama Bin Laden escaped from a Mexican prison a month ago and the Obama administration has repeatedly said it would like to extradite and try the drug lord. Read more.

‘There's No Real Fight Against Drugs’
The Atlantic: The slight man at the breakfast table seemed more like an evangelical minister than someone who once brokered deals between Mexican drug lords and state governors. He wore a meticulously pressed button-down, a gold watch, gold-rimmed glasses, and a gold cross around his neck. His dark brown hair was styled in a comb-over. And when his breakfast companions started to tuck into their bowls of oatmeal and plates of salmon benedict, he cleared his throat and asked for a moment of silence.
“Would you mind if I say grace?” he asked.
The gathering last week at Le Peep café in San Antonio would seem unusual almost anywhere except south Texas, where Mexico kind of blends into the United States—and so does the drug trade. Seated next to the cartel operative was a senior Mexican intelligence official. And next to him was a veteran American counternarcotics agent. They bowed their heads for prayer and then proceeded to talk a peculiar kind of shop. Read more.

Mexico arrests seven officials over escape of drug kingpin
Reuters: The Mexican Attorney General's office said on Friday it had arrested seven officials over suspected involvement in the jail break of drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
