The world’s most wanted drug lord, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, was recaptured in western Mexico on Friday after a fierce pre-dawn gunbattle that left five people dead, Mexican authorities said. Guzman's capture was the stunning culmination of a furious manhunt that began when the drug lord tunneled out of a maximum-security prison nearly six months ago.

It was not immediately clear whether Mexico would try again to hold Guzman behind bars or extradite him to the United States.
