Mexico offers $3.8m reward in hunt for escaped drug lord

Mexico is offering a reward of three point eight million dollars for the capture of the country's most-wanted drug lord, who escaped from a top security prison.  

A huge manhunt is underway for Joaquin Guzman, who got out of his cell on Saturday through a one point five kilometre long tunnel. 

The Interior Minister said officials at the prison must have helped with his escape. 

Three senior prison officials, including the director of the Altiplano jail, have been dismissed.  

The convict was said to have escaped despite wearing a monitoring bracelet and under a 24-hour surveillance.
