US Federal agents find sophisticated ‘narco tunnel’

US federal authorities discovered a sophisticated narco tunnel connecting El Paso, Texas, to Juarez, Mexico, which features electricity and a ventilation system. Measuring about 4 feet wide and 6 feet high, it links to the Boone Street storm-drain system near the border. Uncovered by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the tunnel was used for drug and human smuggling and was built within the past year. HSI and the Border Patrol are committed to eradicating such smuggling routes, following several similar discoveries along the US-Mexico border.
