BULGARIA SEIZES COCAINE WORTH $56 MLN
Bulgarian customs said Friday they had seized some 1,480 pounds of cocaine
with an approximate street value of $56 million at the Black Sea port of
Varna - their biggest single haul ever. The cocaine was found hidden in a
container during routine checks, customs spokesman Ivan Kutevski said from
Varna. He gave no further details. Bulgaria, which lies on the so-called
Balkan route for trafficking drugs from the Middle East to Western Europe,
seized a total of 14.4 tons of drugs last year. (Reuters)
