Cocaine-filled plane crashes in Mexico after high-speed airborne chase

The site where a small plane carrying
cocaine crashed in Queretaro, Mexico.
Mexican military helicopters intercepted
the plane in Mexican airspace and pursued it for hundreds of miles until it ran
out of fuel and crashed in Botija, Queretaro on Monday, the ministry said in a
statement.
The plane was loaded with about 400
kilograms (880 pounds) of cocaine, the ministry added.
In recent months a number of business
jets have crashed or been abandoned in Central America and southern Mexico in
an apparent uptick in aerial smuggling.
Monday's crash came less than two weeks
after a business jet reported stolen in Mexico crashed in a Guatemalan jungle
near a hidden airstrip, leaving two men dead near an onboard stash of drugs and
weapons. It had made a mysterious trip to
Venezuela.
