Mexico's Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, announced Friday that authorities intercepted a semisubmersible vessel—commonly known as a "narco sub"—off the coast of Guerrero. The vessel, typically used to smuggle large quantities of drugs, was carrying 3.5 tons of cocaine and appeared to be bound for the United States.
