By NAOMI McELROY TONNES of cocaine have been found on a submarine off the Honduran coast by the Honduras and American navies.
Honduran General Rene Osorio said there were more than five tonnes of cocaine on the vessel, and authorities would need two days to retrieve all of it.The vessel is submerged because the crew tried to sink it after they were intercepted two weeks ago.Honduras is on a key route used by cartels trafficking drugs to the US.
Coast guard officials intercepted the submarine-like craft off the coast of Honduras near Gracias a Dios. Some 'cocaine subs' built by smugglers are capable of diving up to 60feet.
