Drugs / International United Nations Cocaine Party Foiled By Meddling Security
Posted by Grant Brissey on Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 10:23 PM
U.N. security staff noticed some janky-ass U.N. bags that only had the United Nations logo on them, where as the real deal also have the words "United Nations" and "Diplomatic Mail" printed on them. Inside the bags were 14 hollowed-out textbooks. Inside those was 30 pounds of cocaine. It was gonna be a sick party. But seriously: cops don't think the cocaine "was intended for anyone at the world body," the New York Times reports.
More likely, [head of security Gregory Starr] said, is that someone had the idea to use the counterfeit diplomatic pouches to escape inspection at the Mexican border, and the plan went awry when they were actually delivered to the United Nations.
Wall Street Street Journal values the haul at $440,000. I wonder how many dead people in Mexico that equals.
