Wow!
-Mexican police attacked CIA officers, ambush likely-sources

Sounds more like a cartel hit than anything else. From your link:

Witnesses said the CIA driver made impressive evasive maneuvers which likely saved the lives of those inside the car, and they believe they heard hundreds of bullets fired, estimating the incident lasted around six minutes.

The Mexican official said the vehicle was chased for about 4 km (2.5 miles) before it was halted, and that shell casings from AK-47s, which are not used by Mexican police and are a weapon of choice for drug cartel members, were found at the scene.

The police and military in Mexico have long since been infiltrated by the cartels and you’re surprised by this? Why?
