In what is being billed as one of the biggest drug busts ever, Mexican police and customs agents have seized over 11 tons of cocaine. The bust was made from the Manzanillo port aboard a ship coming from Colombia. The haul is so large that officials are still counting the packets that number over 10,000.

According to Mexican officials there have been over 2,000 people killed this year involving the government and rival drug gangs. President Felipe Calderon has been outspoken in regards to Mexico’s commitment towards fighting drug trafficking. The U. S. has proposed aiding Mexico with $1.4 billion in order to fight drug trafficking.
