Mexican army soldiers found a suspected “narcotunnel” under construction in a northwestern border city, military officials said.
Gen. Gilberto Landeros Briseño, commander of the 2nd Military Zone, said the tunnel runs for 135 meters (440 feet) under the small Mexican city of Tecate, Baja California state, but had not yet been dug to the U.S. side of the border.
The entrance to the underground passage is located inside a bottling plant in the city center, a two-story building without the name of a business entity.
