Authorities: Costa Rica becoming a cocaine warehouse
From Latin American Herald Tribune:
Costa Rican authorities seized approximately 3 tons of cocaine being transported by truck … in what appeared to be one of the biggest drug busts in recent years. ... The officials are weighing the drug packages to confirm the amount seized, and if it is confirmed that there are 3 tons, it will be the second biggest drug bust in recent years, surpassed only by the 6 tons found in a homemade submarine that was sailing in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Costa Rica in September 2008.
Costa Rica has gone “from being a country for drug transit to a country that is a drug warehouse, where some organizations are operating in collaboration with the big drug cartels,” Security Minister Janina Del Vecchio said this week.
