Post Nicaragua seizes arms cache from Mexico drug gang (AFP)



AFP - Nicaraguan police have seized a large cache of weapons and explosives from suspected members of Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel after a police car chase outside Managua, a spokeswoman said.

The weapons included 61 automatic rifles, mostly AK-47's and four M-16s, two grenade launchers, 10 hand grenades, 20 sticks of dynamite and more than 19,000 rounds of ammunition, Vilma Reyes told a press briefing.

They were found inside a car the suspected drug traffickers fled from after being chased by police on the Panamerican highway, outside Managua, she added.

The police operation was deemed a success, despite the suspects' getaway, thanks to police and military intelligence work in tracking the movements of the alleged Sinaloa members inside Nicaragua, the spokeswoman said.

Looks like Daniel just found some more money and weapons to help prop up his attempt to become a dictator.

My guess is that the Sinaloa cartel can beat the Nicarauguan army if they ever should face off. Mexico's army s much better armed/trained and look at all the trouble they are having...

I hate to say it, but I think the country would be better off if the Sinaloa cartel took him out.
