MEXICO CITY, Mexico
A Defense Department statement issued Saturday says military
personnel stopped the suspect the previous day at an unannounced
checkpoint outside Tuxpan, north of beach resorts in the Pacific
coast state of Nayarit.
A United Nations anti-narcotics agency recently reported that
production of highly pure heroin is rising in Mexico.
Much of it is intended for smuggling into the United States. The
U.S. Justice Department says Mexican drug cartels more than doubled
heroin production in 2009.
