Notorious
drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman has been recaptured six months
after he staged an escaped from Mexico's most secure prison, according
to the country's president.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto wrote in his Twitter account on Friday: 'mission accomplished: we have him'.
Five people have been killed and one Mexican marine wounded in the raid.
The
Mexican Navy said in a statement that marines acting on a tip raided a
home in the town of Los Mochis before dawn. They were fired on from
inside the structure. Five suspects were killed and six others arrested.
The marine's injuries were not life threatening.
At the home marines seized two armored vehicles, eight long guns, one handgun and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher
El
Chapo has been on the run since July, when he used an elaborate
underground tunnel to break out of a maximum-security prison in central
Mexico.
This is the second time that El Chapo has been recaptured after using his influence to break out of prison.
At one point, El Chapo's vast fortune was estimated to be around $1billion.
