A crude 2 by 2 foot tunnel under the Rio Grande linking Mexico to El Paso was discovered after authorities arrested a Mexican teenager with about 200 pounds of marijuana. Investigators found acetylene torches and fuel, with 200 more pounds of marijuana in the drainage tunnel. Authorities say the tunnel aims to move drugs rather than people and note strong interagency cooperation with Mexican officials.
