The surprise operation appeared to be part of President Vicente Fox's crackdown on drug smuggling and police corruption. Army and federal police raided the state police academy in Tecate, about 65 miles east of Tijuana, where officers were holding a meeting on their licenses to carry weapons. It was unclear what charges the officers faced. - --- MAP posted-by: Alex
