Bolivia
Seizes 19 Tons Of Cocaine
La Paz - Bolivian
President Evo Morales said Wednesday that
Bolivia has seized a total of 19 tons of
cocaine so far this year, more than the 11
tons for all of 2005.
"Also, in the first nine months of 2009,
Bolivia eradicated 5,000 hectares of coca
(cocaine's raw ingredient) without shooting
a single bullet," Morales told a press
conference in Quemado Palace in La Paz.
The country's anti-drug forces also
discovered mega-factories of cocaine
hydrochloride with sophisticated equipment,
Morales said.
Morales stressed that Bolivia has achieved
success in combating drug trafficking
without cooperation of the United States.
Bolivia planned to buy planes with radars to
detect aircraft with drug, but "the United
States was against those buys," Morales
added.
