Mexico in record cocaine seizure

[starlaugh]

Mexican authorities have made what they say is one of their largest drug seizures after finding 23.5 tons of cocaine at the port of Manzanillo.

The drugs, with an estimated street value of more than $400m (£192m), were found in by the Mexican navy in cargo containers on a ship from Colombia.

The seizure dwarfed the 11.5 tons found last month at the port of Tampico.
The US ambassador said the seizures showed Congress should approve funding for a major new anti-drug initiative
