Mexico shows video of drug lord Guzman escape
Guzman's behavior before he vanished late Saturday was normal, says official
MEXICO CITY (AFP) - Mexico s government released a video Tuesday showing the moment that fugitive drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman goes into his prison cell s shower before disappearing.
The surveillance camera footage shows Guzman pacing back and forth several times in the cell before bending down behind a short dividing wall in the shower space, but the hole through which he escaped is not visible.
National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said Guzman s behavior before he vanished late Saturday was normal for an inmate in a maximum-security prison.
"It s a natural behavior for prisoners in a confined space for a prolonged time," Rubido told reporters.
The government also showed a video of the 1.5-kilometer (one-mile) escape tunnel, which had a rail system for a motorcycle with a metal cart in front and a special rail system for it to ride on.
