By Barbara Cockburn
An aircraft loaded with four tonnes of cocaine crashed on 24 September in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, according to news sources.
The aircraft, said to be a Gulfstream II, crashed after being chased by military helicopters, in a jungle area in the state of Yucatan as soon as it entered Mexican airspace.
The aircraft was reconfigured to carry cocaine instead of passengers and had, according to reports, flown in from Colombia. No-one was found onboard when authorities arrived at the scene.
