Mexico finds huge marijuana farm in Baja California

The Mexican army says it has found a huge field with mature marijuana in the northern state of Baja California.
Soldiers were patrolling the area, some 300km (190 miles) south of the US border, when they came across the plantation.
The massive field, in a rural area near the town of San Quintin, was surrounded by a hedge of cacti.
The Mexican authorities said the plants would have yielded marijuana with a market value of about $160m (£99m).
A Mexican army spokesman told the BBC it was unclear who owned the territory.
