3:31Now PlayingYou may have heard that Sean Penn accidentally got El Chapo arrested. We now have footage of the raid. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The world's most wanted drug boss, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, initially gave Mexican security forces the slip by opening a secret doorway hidden behind a mirror, and descending into a sophisticated tunnel leading to the city's drains.
The infamous head of the Sinaloa drug cartel was arrested on Friday after a months-long manhunt that followed his escape - by tunneling out - from a Mexican maximum security prison in July.
Before he was caught, Guzman spent hours below ground as his henchmen sought to lure pursuing Marines up toward the roof of the house he had been holed up in, in Los Mochis in his native state of Sinaloa. As rains started to fill the drains, Guzman eventually emerged from a manhole near a gas station a mile (1.5 km) across town and stole a car at gunpoint.
Video footage broadcast by Televisa on Monday showed Marines firing shots inside the property during Friday's dawn raid, and images of the interior of the ground floor dressing room where the tunnel entrance was hidden.”*
