A reward poster hangs on a pole at the Revolution Park, Tuesday, March 1, 2005, in Guadalajara, Mexico. The mystery surrounding the posters offering up to US$5 million for information leading to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, one of Mexico's most poweful drug lords, and 36 of his associates, has intensified after Mexican authorities denied plastering them in three of the country's major cities. The Attorney General's office said it has opened an investigation to determine who distributed the posters, while Mexican media suggests they are part of a plan by Guzman's rivals to get to him.
