Los Angeles (US):
U.S. and Mexican authorities have discovered an elaborate tunnel that stretches the length of eight football fields connecting Mexico and the United States and was apparently used for drug trafficking, authorities said Thursday.
The tunnel, unearthed Wednesday, runs from a warehouse in Tijuana and surfaces in the United States under an abandoned warehouse west of the Otay Mesa port of entry.

Mexican authorities announced that they had seized about two tons of marijuana on the Mexican end, and experts said the passageway bore all the hallmarks of an operation by a major drug cartel.
Investigators were tipped off to the existence of the tunnel on the Mexican side and passed the information to Mexican law enforcement, which obtained a search warrant for the warehouse in Tijuana on Wednesday.
