Mexico City's chief of police, who was shot and injured in an assassination attempt on Friday, has said one of Mexico's most powerful drug cartels was behind the attack.
In comments apparently tweeted from hospital, Omar Garcia Harfuch blamed the "cowardly" attack on the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), a highly violent drug gang that now operates virtually across the nation.
Harfuch received three bullet wounds in the dawn assault, but was quickly reported to be out of danger.
A dozen of the 28 gunmen reportedly involved in the attack were held for questioning by police. Later on Friday, police from the capital arrested an alleged head of the CJNG hitmen on suspicion of being the mastermind of the meticulously planned operation.
