TUNNEL |
In the week when the Governor of Arizona signed a bill to erect a huge wall between her state and Mexico, it turns out that the ruthless drug cartels have been smuggling their product underground for some time.
State authorities said they've found dozens of tunnels in the border city Nogales, this one was by far the most sophisticated.
Chief border patrol agent Randy Hill said those who were building it had chiselled through solid rock and installed lighting and other equipment.
They found an entrance to the tunnel which lies 15 ft below ground and is three feet wide, by five high, on May 2 in an abandoned building.
He said: "It is a prime example of the risks traffickers will take and the lengths they will go to smuggle contraband into our country."
