In this week’s version of Aliens vs. Predators, El Chapo emailed from his hidey-hole to drop the gauntlet:
Report: ‘Chapo’ Guzmán threatens war on ISIS after terrorists destroy drug shipment
In an unconfirmed report, Chapo’s anger toward the radical jihadist group does not stem from some sense of altruism for the victims of the recent attacks in Paris or San Bernardino, but instead from concerns about his bottom line after ISIS destroyed several of his Sinaloa Cartel’s drug shipments that were being moved through the Middle East.
Guzmán allegedly sent a harshly-worded warning via email to ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, which was published by the website Cartel Blog
, about messing with the cartel’s business.
“You [ISIS] are not soldiers,” Guzmán purportedly wrote. “You are nothing but lowly p**. Your god cannot save you from the true terror that my men will levy at you if you continue to impact my operation.”
The message continus: “My men will destroy you. The world is not yours to dictate. I pity the next son of a whore that tries to interfere with the business of the Sinaloa Cartel. I will have their heart and tongue torn from them. It looks like it’s on.”
A betting person would not wager on either side, but on the amounts of money it would take for both sides to reach a mutually convenient agreement.
Aw. And here I was hoping for a steel cage death match.
That’d be on pay-per-view, just give it time.
