Cocaine is a hell of drug!!!

Somewhere in the world there is a drug kingpin who is PISSED. 352 million dollars worth of cocaine got busted yesterday. That's 5,000 kilos. Wow. Oh the fiends are gonna go crazy!!! Apparently these drug dealers got the idea to smuggle drugs over seas, or under seas rather, to US borders. This could have been a great idea until the idiots decided to show half of the sub on the top of the water. They were then spotted by surveillance planes who contacted the law. The law then swiflty came and locked their asses up. If I were them I would want to spend the rest of my days in jail cause when Tony Montana gets wind of this it's gonna be "Say hello to my lil friend!" time if you know what I mean.

US foils submarine drug-smuggling plot
Posted Thu Aug 23, 2007 8:22am AEST

A submarine carrying cocaine worth an estimated $US352 million ($435 million) was intercepted by US authorities off the coast of Central America, authorities said.
US Customs and Border Protection said the semi-submersible vessel - which was only partially visible from the surface - was spotted by a surveillance plane 482 kilometres south-west of the Mexico-Guatemala border on Monday.
The plane then guided a US Navy ship to the scene as the four suspected drug smugglers scuttled the vessel along with the bulk of its cargo, believed to be around 5,000 kilograms of cocaine.

The suspects and 11 bales of cocaine weighing around 548 kilograms were eventually recovered from the scene.

US Customs and Border Protection spokesman Michael Friel said that cases of smugglers using semi-submersible craft were rare.

"There have been recorded cases involving these sorts of vessels but they are extremely rare," Mr Friel told said.

"It indicates the sophisticated methods smugglers use to try and avoid detection."
