The Navy Secretariat has denied a story published in The Wall Street Journal that claimed that U.S. law enforcement personnel were participating in operations targeting drug cartels in Mexico.

"We categorically deny that American authorities or those from any other country have participated with Mexican navy personnel in tactical operations in the field against organized crime utilizing Mexican uniforms and arms," the secretariat said in a statement.

The U.S. business newspaper reported Saturday that U.S. Justice Department personnel regularly participated in operations targeting drug traffickers while using Mexican uniforms and firearms.

The secret missions were agreed to by high-level U.S. Marshals Service officials and Mexican marine corps commanders, and are approved at the highest levels of Mexico's government.

The missions are not without risk, the newspaper said.
