Mafia weapons stockpile found in Montreal.


Police have discovered a cache of machine guns, ammunition and explosives in an east-end Montreal depot.
It's the latest development in a spate of violence that has seen several top members of the Rizzuto crime family gunned down in the last 18 months.
The Rizzutos have controlled lucrative drug, loan shark and money-laundering rackets in Quebec for 30 years, but the family has been under a deadly siege since 2009 when Nick Rizzuto Jr. was shot and killed in west-end Montreal .
