DRUG HAUL
A Colombian Navy task force Tuesday seized 1.7 tons of pure cocaine stashed
in a hideout on a tropical island just off Colombia's Caribbean coast. The
drugs were packed in more than 50 sacks weighing about 66 pounds each and
also in smaller backpacks. No arrests were made. Colombian authorities have
seized about 21 tons of cocaine this year.
