Mexican troops finds $26 million in drug cash
September 19, 2008- AFP
 MEXICO CITY (AFP) — The Mexican army seized 26.2 million dollars from a house in northwestern Sinaloa state in the second largest cash haul in the country's history, a defense ministry official said Thursday.
The army found 890 packets of cash in a house during a routine patrol in Culiacan, the state capital, general Luis Arturo Oliver told a news conference here.
Soldiers searched the house after three men fled it on seeing them approach.
More than 36,000 soldiers are deployed nationwide, including in the major drug trafficking state of Sinaloa, as part of a federal crackdown on drug trafficking and related crime.
Sinaloa is home to one of the most powerful drug cartels in Mexico, founded by fugitive leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
In the largest ever cash haul, Mexican police seized 205 million dollars in March 2007 in a Mexico City suburb.
That money belonged to a Mexican businessman of Chinese origin, Zhenli Ye Gon, who is detained in the United States.
