The President of El Salvador, Naive Bucala, announced that Salvadoran forces, working alongside the Haitian police, destroyed the headquarters of the powerful Mabuzo 400 gang and the residence of its leader, Wilson Joseph, known as Lanmo Saint-Joe, in Croix-des-Bouquets, near Port-au-Prince.
The Nov. 8 helicopter attack came just two days after Bukala publicly requested the exact location of the X property, promising to destroy it. In the photographs released by the president, helicopters are seen attacking the compound as suspected gang members flee. The leader of the gang was not caught.
Buckles statement at X: We kept our promise. We destroyed Lanmo San Joe's house and the headquarters of 400 Mabuzo gangs. Most of them ran away without even trying to fight. What cowards!
