WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government believes fugitive Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is still in Mexico, and federal agents are working with Mexican authorities on his recapture, the acting head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said on Wednesday.

"Where is he probably the safest and best protected? Probably Sinaloa," Chuck Rosenberg said in a briefing with reporters, in reference to Guzman's home state where he built up his powerful drug cartel.
