NO MORE B.C. BUD 'PHO' YOU
A U.S. sting operation named after Vietnamese noodle soup has netted
22 people allegedly growing pot and trafficking ecstasy in and around
Seattle.
Authorities said the project was dubbed "This Bud's Pho You" because
Vietnamese ring members referred to marijuana as "pho" while talking
to each other on the phone.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency said the bust was linked to a past
operation that resulted in arrests of members of a transborder drug
gang that dealt in shipments of B.C. bud.
