Hidden drug tunnels link Tecate to U S border smuggling
Police uncovered a tunnel behind a fireplace in Tecate linking to a U S home and find a surge of passages along the 2000 mile border. Since September 11, six tunnels have been found, with five believed opened after the attacks as authorities warn border fortifications push smugglers underground. A Nogales tunnel moved about 20 million dollars in cocaine and marijuana before sealing.
