Shhh... no one tell Holder or Napolitano: massive arms cache -- including rocket launchers, grenades, and M-16s -- discovered near Texas border

Two months ago, north of Monterrey, the Mexican military discovered a huge weapons cache that should send a shiver down the spine of any U.S. law enforcement official. The arms cache was located roughly 50 miles away from the Texas border.

The Google translation, while imperfect, gives you the flavor for what was captured.

Listings with key numbers to identify procedures and other municipalities that grant, places and names of planets ejidos, countries and continents, were also seized.
