Mexican soldiers shot and killed on the country's biggest drug lords Thursday during a gunfight near the city of Guadalajara.
Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel was one of the top three leaders of the Sinoloa Cartel, and was key to its producing large amounts of methamphetamine in remote, clandestine labs and then smuggling the drugs into the United States, according to the FBI.
The army was closing in on one of the Coronel's safe houses in an upscale neighborhood when Coronel opened fire, the Associated Press reported.

Looks like the "safe house" wasn't so safe after all.

Is it not strange all we are hearing is " ANOTHER " top drug lord KILLED??? I can't believe NOBODY ELSE died too? But hey this is " ANOTHER " time you can put away your faith, this was a drug demon that needed to die I'm sure we all have the " ALMIGHTIES " blessing, right! But hey at least we the American taxpayer will not have to foot the bill for MILLIONS to bring him here for a mock trial and then pay to house him forever, right! Sadly he was replaced before his body hit the ground, FACT! But that is ok, it just means job security for those fighting this KNOWN 40 year failure of a policy. How long do we keep going down the wrong path?
