Mexican drugs and weapons hunt

Soldiers seized assault rifles, grenades, marijuana and bulletproof vests bearing police insignia after a brief shootout in the Mexican border city of Tijuana. No one was wounded in the overnight exchange of fire with three suspects hunkered down in a house in La Mesa district, army Gen. Sergio Aponte Polito told reporters Friday. Most likely they were …stoned so they didn’t know what and where they were shooting.

Troops seized 91 assault rifles, some with butts of gold and ivory – no modestly in spending here -along with 18 grenades, the bulletproof vests and more than 880 pounds of marijuana. The three suspects, aged 25 to 33, were arrested. The big question is how many will be sentence due to local corruption.
