Mexico's army has said in a statement that it has found a 230-meter drug-smuggling tunnel under the Sonora-Arizona border.


The smuggling tunnel, which measured 1.3 meters high and reached a depth of almost 18 meters below ground, ran from San Luis Rio Colorado in the northern Mexico state of Sonora to the US state of Arizona, the statement said on Monday.

The tunnel had electricity, ventilation and small carts to facilitate the transportation of drugs.

Despite tightened security along the border between the US and Mexico, tunnels are still the most popular way for Mexico's cartels to smuggle drugs and people into the United States. In recent years, about 80 smuggling tunnels have been discovered along the border.

Mexico is struggling to end the country’s drug war which has so far claimed the lives of 55,000 people since 2006 when President Felipe Calderon launched the crackdown.

About two months ago, the bodies of 43 men and six women, some of them mutilated, were found in plastic bags on a highway connecting the northern metropolis of Monterrey to the US border.

They actually use these and fly over at night, drop a couple hundred pounds of drugs then fly back across.
