Suspected drug tunnels found

MEXICO CITY (AP) - January 20, 2009 Mexico's Public Security Department says two of the tunnels ran beneath the U.S.-Mexico border. One of those still had wood boards and the other was lined with cement.

Officials say the third was about 7 meters long and appeared to have no exit.

The department on Tuesday did not say when the tunnels were found.

Dozens of tunnels believed built by Mexican drug cartels have been found along the U.S.-Mexico border in recent years, many of them incomplete.
