Drugs Found Aboard Colombian Warship
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) -- Authorities announced an embarrassing discovery Friday: A large stash of cocaine and heroin on the naval warship that the visiting Peruvian president was to tour.
Adm. Mauricio Soto, the commander of the Colombian navy, said nearly 37 1/2 pounds of cocaine and 22 pounds of heroin were found Thursday in the engine room of the Gloria - Colombia's flagship naval vessel, which is to embark next month on a six-month trip to the United States and Europe.
Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo was scheduled to go aboard the Gloria in Cartagena, a port city along the Caribbean, on Saturday to dine with military commanders and discuss increased cooperation in the fight against drug trafficking. Soto said three navy enlisted men have been detained in connection with the seizure.
