Mexican cops may have discovered a drug cartel's weapons cache that's connected to the Obama administration Fast and Furious debacle.

Mexican police officers discovered a large weapons cache that may be linked to the U.S. gun-walking snafu, Operation Fast and Furious, an American drug enforcement official working as an "advisor" in northern Mexico said on Friday.

The anonymous source told the Law Enforcement Examiner that the weapons apparently belong to drug traffickers who stored them at a private residence in northern Mexico.

The weapons discovery was a result of a Mexican schoolboy who brought a loaded handgun to class. His classmates observed the gun in the 9-year-old's schoolbag and reported it to their teacher, who in turn reported it to the Hermosillo city police.

According to the law enforcement source, the semiautomatic firearm was fully loaded. It was immediately confiscated and then a police SWAT team raided the boy's house where they found a cache of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition, according to the source.
