TOP DRUG COPS ARRESTED

WASHINGTON - Guatemala's top anti-drug investigators have been
arrested on charges they conspired to import and distribute cocaine in
the United States after being lured to America for what they thought
was training on fighting drug traffickers.

A three-count indictment issued Wednesday by a federal grand jury in
Washington names Adan Castillo, chief of Guatemala's special anti-drug
police force, who has lamented the slow pace of progress in combating
cocaine smugglers in Guatemala. Also indicted were Jorge Aguilar
Garcia, Castillo's deputy, and Rubilio Orlando Palacios, another
police official. They were arrested Tuesday after arriving in the
United States for drug enforcement Administration training on stopping
drug trafficking in ports.
