A soldier of the Mexican Army walks along a trans-border tunnel found near Tijuana Airport, in Tijuana, in the Mexican border with San Diego in the US, on August 11. Mexican troops have discovered an unfinished 300-meter (980-foot) tunnel beneath the US border that would likely have been used to smuggle drugs and people, officials said Friday.
TIJUANA, Mexico (AFP) - Mexican troops have discovered an unfinished 300-meter (980-foot) tunnel beneath the US border that would likely have been used to smuggle drugs and people, officials said Friday.
Mexican General Alfonso Duarte announced the find, saying the entrance to the tunnel was inside a house in the border town of Tijuana that was made to appear as though it was under construction.
He added that 10 people were detained in the operation, including a woman who had been helping to dig the tunnel for nearly a year.
The tunnel was around 1.8 meters (six feet) high and a meter (three feet) wide, and had a lighting and ventilation system, officials said.
US officials said in June that more than 150 secret tunnels for smuggling people and drugs into the United States have been found since 1990.
Mexico has seen a wave of unrest in recent years as powerful drug cartels have battled over lucrative trade routes to the United States, with some 41,000 people killed in drug-related violence since 2006.
That year President Felipe Calderon launched a massive military crackdown, which critics say has led the cartels to develop more advanced tactics and more brutal methods without bringing security to border communities.

Các anh chị nghĩ thế nào, có ý kiến , phê bình gì qua bài viết "MEXICO UNCOVERS TUNNEL BENEATH US BORDER" ?
Các anh chị có lấy làm lạ khi quốc gia đứng đầu thế giới là USA, với những khám phá độc đáo, với những phương tiện truyền thông, tình báo "tuyệt vời" có thể nghe thấy biết những chuyện "kín" nhất, "độc đáo" nhất của nhiều nhân vật có máu mặt nhất, "sỉ diện" nhất và nhờ vậy mà lòi ra nhiều bộ mặt "vô sỉ" cũng nhất, ... thì tại sao chuyện "US officials said in June that more than 150 secret tunnels for smuggling people and drugs into the United States have been found since 1990." từ thế kỹ 20 mà đến nay là thế kỹ 21 những chuyện như vậy vẫn cứ tiếp tục xảy ra ???
