MEXICO CITY (AP) — Authorities said Tuesday they busted clandestine AR-15 semi-automatic rifle assembly operations on two farms in western Mexico, believed to be the first known example of such weapons being put together in the country.

The investigation found that at least some of the AR-15 parts were being produced on the farms, while other pieces apparently were brought in from the United States.
