Colombian
Authorities Seize 1.9 Tons
Of Cocaine
Bogota - The Colombian
Coastguard seized some 1.9 tons of cocaine
buried underground near the northern Morrosquillo Gulf on Friday, authorities
said.
The Coastguard found the cocaine packaged in
86 bags, with each containing 23 kg, after
receiving a tip from the Administrative
Department of Security.
The Coastguard also confiscated some weapons
on the spot.
The drug, which reportedly belonged to a
local drug-trafficking band, had a value of
60 million U.S. dollars on the black market.
The Colombian Navy seized about 3.5 tons of
cocaine last week.
Colombia is believed to be the largest
producer and second exporter of cocaine in
the world.
