Secret tunnel found near San Diego border
2009-10-30
Mexican soldiers have discovered a secret tunnel complete with electricity and an air supply that may have been planned for smuggling migrants or drugs under the U.S. border into San Diego.

Reporters in Tijuana were invited by military officials on Tuesday to a private, industrial property about 100 feet south of San Diego's Otay Mesa border crossing. Law enforcement officials opened the property for the media and then left.

The journalists, including about 20 reporters, photographers and videographers, walked around until they spotted a big hole, the entrance to a 4-foot-wide tunnel behind a tractor-trailer.

#4  g(r)omgoru, we wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find Gazans or other assorted ME bad guyz lurking around here but so far it's just your run of the mill narco terrorists from Mexico...er, at least that's all we've heard.

#3  Any signs of Gazans in the environs?

#2  A real cool one a few years back in Agua Prieta: you entered when a secret button was pushed operating a hydralic lift which raised a billiard table in a narco's mansion. The tunnel exited in Douglas, Arizona, USA.

#1  Tunnels, shmunnels! We got 'em by the ton down here on the Arizona/Mexican border. Luckily the Mexican narcos need not fear Israeli drones as their Gazan counterparts do. PC rules down on La Frontera...at least on the gringo side. :((
