MOB MISSILE LAUNCHERS FOUND

(ANSA) - Reggio Calabria, November 2 - Police on Monday found a huge weapons cache near the southern Italian port of Gioia Tauro including several missile launchers.

Calabrian 'Ndrangheta mafia clans have for years been battling over contracts and trafficking stemming from the port, one of Europe's biggest container sites.

The 'Ndrangheta is now reckoned to be the most powerful of Italy's mafias, its ranks and influence swelled by massive drugs profits. photo: Gioia Tauro
