PANAMA - A drug
band, allegedly members
of the Mexican Golfo
drug cartel, have been
detained in Panama with
over one ton of cocaine,
mass media reported
Friday.
The detention of six
Mexicans and two
Colombians took place
Thursday night in Las
Cumbres neighborhood, in
the outskirts of the
capital, during a police
operation after
receiving suspicious
warnings, they stated.
According to the first
reports, among the
Mexicans are three
women, one a little
girl.
Police sources told
reporters that nearly
1,076 kg of cocaine have
been found in one of the

the country, during its
illegal transfer to the
United States, its main
world market.
