[PSUBS-MAILIST] Latest "drug sub" media reports

[irox <irox@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi,

as probably many of you noticed, there was another high profile
"drug sub" bust of the coast of Mexico.

Nice picture and they where "abseiling from helicopters and
overpowering the four-man crew":

More pictures and "rew members said they were fishermen forced
to make the journey by drug traffickers who threatened to harm
their families":

No pictures, but "A navy plane spotted the craft about 140 miles
south of the tourist resort of Huatulco, setting off a three-hour
chase":

It almost looks like a skin on frame kayak.  I certainly wouldn't
want to dive on it, if it does in fact really dive...

Cheers,
  Ian.
