The Mexican government has said it aims to fulfill an extradition request from the United States for the notorious cartel kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, a source within the Mexican attorney general's office told NBC News on Saturday.
Guzman, who was captured Friday during an operation in the northwestern Mexican town of Los Mochis, faces charges in numerous jurisdictions across the United States.
He was transported shortly after he was apprehended to Antiplano — the same maximum-security prison where he escaped from on July 11.
