In Leredo, Mexico, drug warriors have found and confiscated two improvised explosive devices as well as dozens of weapons/weapon kits. AK47s, AR-15 Assault Rifles, hunting rifles and other weapons were found during a drug raid.

Two homemade bombs and supplies to make 33 more were found in Laredo in a series of narcotics and firearms raids by a federal task force, officials disclosed Friday.

Portraying the Jan. 27 find as an “alarming” development in the already brutal border drug war, officials said they have not established any terrorist link to the “improvised explosive devices” nor any intended targets among narcotraffickers.

“We are still investigating how these items were to be used, but you can rest assured they were not for peaceful purposes,” said Julie Myers, assistant secretary of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Ok.

1. Here’s a hint: they were probably intended to be used to defend their turf from rival drug lords/protect their investments from those who would steal their narcotics/cash.

2. If drugs were legalized and regulated, these individuals would not have need these weapons. Problem solved.

3. What’s “peaceful” about the War on Drugs?
