Police in Mexico torch a giant supply of methamphetamine believed to belong to the country's No. 1 drug lord.

The discovery was made high in the hills of Mexico's northern Sierra among cabins equipped with caviar face cream and catalogs for escorts. The luxury base was also outfitted with a king-sized bed, luxury clothes, satellite television, pirated movies and high-speed Internet.

Police believe the complex of 22 cabins was used by top fugitive Joaquin Guzman. Nicknamed "Shorty" for his small stature, Guzman is leader of the powerful Sinaloa cartel.  

He escaped from a high-security jail in 2001 hidden in a laundry van and has eluded all attempts to catch him. Drug experts believe Guzman changes his mobile phone everyday to avoid being tracked.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon launched an army-led war on drug gangs upon taking power in December 2006. Calderon's drug war has become the biggest challenge of his presidency, as the army assault has sparked new turf wars and killings between rival cartels that have left more than 13,000 people dead, including many police.

The discovery of the largest synthetic drug lab ever found in Mexico may prove a valuable boost to Mexico's war on drugs.
