Seized cartel ‘monster’ truck had gunports, .50-caliber machinegun

Mexican authorities are reporting the seizure of an armored truck with gunports and a machinegun capable of bringing down aircraft.

Chihuahua state police officers found the stolen Ford F-450 with welded steel plates during a three-day sweep of mountains in the western portion of the state, where violent cartel clashes have been reported in recent weeks.
