U.S. agents find rocket launcher near Mexico border

MCALLEN, Texas (Reuters) - U.S. Border Patrol agents found a rocket launcher, assault rifles and explosives in a bag along the Rio Grande river in Texas, the agency said on Wednesday, suggesting a link to Mexico's drug wars.

McAllen is a little over 300 miles from Houston. I wonder if the stories back in 2008 and again in 2009 about pilots for commercial airlines seeing rockets past them has any validity to this story?

These stories were all but forgotten--yet no real explanation was ever presented to the public.

Besides everybody knows you can get rocket launchers, machine guns and C4 at any sporting goods store.

Not to worry... that probably belongs to some hunter who lost it.
It's dove season here in Texas... and you need the proper equipment to bring them down.
