Mexican authorities seize ten tons of marijuana in drug tunnel on US-Mexico border

Mexican authorities said Thursday they seized about 10 tons of marijuana in an elaborate tunnel with a rail car system that extended well into San Diego and was designed to smuggle drugs into the U.S. from Tijuana. The discovery on Wednesday marks one of the longest and more sophisticated clandestine tunnels found on the U.S.-Mexico border.

It was lit, ventilated and built with metal beams to prevent collapse. Two Mexican government security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the passage belonged to the Sinaloa drug cartel, which is run by fugitive kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman.
