MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican marines have seized a cache of weapons that allegedly belonged to the brutal Zetas drug cartel. It's the third such seizure in over a week. The Mexican Navy says in a statement Thursday that troops found 204 rifles, 11 handguns, 17 grenades and 29,600 rounds of ammunition in the border state of Coahuila, across from Texas. It says marines at a highway checkpoint caught five people with weapons and military uniforms. Those people led the troops to a place where the weapons were hidden. Mexican marines over the weekend seized a cache of 100 weapons buried in an empty lot near the city of Monclova. And on Friday, the army announced soldiers had found 154 rifles and shotguns and more than 92,000 rounds of ammunition near Monclova.
