This combo of photographs released by Mexico's Attorney General Office (PGR) with identification mapping marks made by the source to point out similarities in face measurements, shows Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, using images made from his 1993 and 2014 detentions. The images at right were taken after his Feb. 22, 2014 arrest, and the photos at left were taken after his detention in 1993. The PGR used the pictures, among other tests, to determine that the man detained on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014 was indeed the drug lord. Guzman was recaptured in Mexico's Pacific coast city of Mazatlan after 13 years on the run as fugitive head of the Sinaloa cartel. (AP Photo/PGR)
