Two interesting finds in Mexico this week

There were two finds in Mexico this week that I thought really interesting:

1) the Mexican navy for the first time caught a drugs submarine from Colombia carrying 6 tons of cocaine (see BBC video here)

2) a cemetery outside Monterrey that was thought to contain only Mexican soldiers from the Mexican-American war was found to contain the remains of four Americans.  Story here.
