Huge Weapons Arsenal Seized in Mexico
- 14 years ago
Mexican soldiers seized a huge weapons arsenal on Wednesday in a wealthy residential area in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The seizure included rifles, guns, rocket launchers, grenades, as well as drugs, communications equipment and a vehicle.
The army found the arsenal after they went to inspect a safe house in the upscale residential area of Zapopan after receiving an anonymous call.
In July this year, Mexican soldiers killed drug boss Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel, a senior member of the powerful Sinaloa cartel, in this area.
Coronel was known as the "King of Ice" for his multimillion-dollar methamphetamine business.
More than 29,000 people have died in drug-related violence across Mexico over the past three years.
