Description
Mexican forces destroy an illegal poppy field in the southern state of Guerrero as part of routine annual operations to locate and eradicate crops in the area that can be used to make heroin.
"This time of year is the season when the poppy has reached a certain height, so that's when the military carries out eradication activities," says Andres Ojeda, commander of the Mexican Armed Forces. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
