Police in Guatemala believe that “El Chapo” may be hiding there and are investigating whether he ordered revenge hits Wednesday on the daughter and wife of retired Gen. Otto Perez Molina, the Reforma paper reported. The daughter was wounded and the wife unharmed. Press accounts say Perez orchestrated Guzman’s capture in 1993.
