Police and military forces in Mexico have managed to rescue a woman with U.S. citizenship held captive by the Sinaloa Cartel for more than a year.
The Attorney General s Office said the U.S. citizen had been moved around to several different safe houses since she was kidnapped in Culiacán in February last year, Mexico News Daily reported.
The safe houses, also located in Culiacán, allegedly belonged to the Sinaloa Cartel. Officials noted that the woman was in good health.
Reports said the African-American woman, whose name was not revealed by authorities, spent 13 months with Sinaloa Cartel members. It was unclear whether the kidnappers asked relatives for ransom.
