REYNOSA, Tamaulipas - The violent drug cartel operating in this border city managed to add landmines to their growing arsenal as they wage large-scale battles in a near daily fashion. The explosive devices, known as Claymore mines, were seized by the Mexican military during a recent operation.

During a series of raids by the Mexican Army, soldiers focused on search operations in rural areas near the Rio Grande. According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by the Mexican Army, soldiers were able to find a series of weapons caches that had been buried–leading to the arrests of three suspects.
Soldiers unearthed two Claymores, a grenade launcher, two Barrett .50 caliber rifles, 17 AK-47 rifles, ballistic plates, ammunition, and magazines.

... and we Democrats still see no need to build the wall ...
Obama probably provided them.
Obama, the FBI, and the batf *Wanted* the deaths that those weapons would bring.
they wanted it.
Cartels have some
Interesting supply lines.
Landmines/IEDs is where the RsOE go out the window. Sucks to be that cartel now.
They have a dream to sell their drugs across the border.
Chuck and Nancy,and don’t forget Jeb and linda, just wanna feel the love.
The title says land mine, but the picture is of a claymore.
Right...use military grade weapons, win stupid prizes should be the norm now.
Obama/Lynch/Holder probably provided them.
It is not classified as a land mine because it is detonated remotely on command, whereas a conventional land mine is just buried and goes off when someone is near it? Trying to learn something here on a subject I know nothing about.
Fingers crossed that you are right.
I’ve never considered Claymores to be land mines.
You are correct.
Faster and Furiouser maybe ?
I was under the impression “land mines” were designed to be buried.
Claymore.
Used as landmines?
They seem to NOT be purposed for That.
I say bulldoze everything 12 miles south of the border, and turn it into a free fire zone where anything and everything that moves in it gets blasted by no less than a battalion of 155’s firing DPICM or FASCAM.
Thanks. What is it referred to then since “land mine” is inaccurate?
Ignorant journalist.
Land mine = semi automatic assault rifle
Style book ignorance
