Accident or attack? – Killed in police helicopter crash in Mexico

Date:

Five people have been killed in a police helicopter crash in central Mexico. The pilot maneuvered the helicopter to avoid hitting a residential area. According to initial findings, it was an accident. However, investigations were also launched to rule out an attack.

The secretary of public security for the state of Aguascalientes was among those killed, according to Governor Teresa Jiménez. All people on board were killed.

A video shared on social media showed the helicopter crashing almost vertically into a green area in the town of Jesús María, in Aguascalientes.

Days earlier, suspected members of the Jalisco Nueva Generación drug cartel had put up posters threatening authorities in Aguascalientes. The group is one of the strongest crime syndicates in Mexico.

There are numerous drug cartels and other criminal groups in the Latin American country, often associated with corrupt politicians and security forces.
