They said the photo was from Nicaragua on a smuggler route between Corn island and Columbia. He also said they have been towing torpedo casings submerged behind boats.

Not sure about any of this since the boat looks quite "official" like some kind of improvised tugboat.

OK - that setup looked a little sophisticated for Nicaragua, for sure.
