Narcotank v2.0

Soldiers had seized the vehicles after a firefight at an illegal garage in Camargo on Saturday. They said two suspected cartel members guarding the garage had died in the shoot-out with the security forces. Two of the tanks had already been fitted with armour 2.5cm (1in) thick. Two more lorries were in the process of being fitted with steel plates, and 23 articulated lorries were still awaiting modification. The tanks, dubbed “monsters” by the security forces, are believed to be the latest weapon in the fight between the Gulf cartel and their rivals, the Zetas, for control of the drug smuggling routes to the US.
