BOGOTA, July 29 (Reuter) Colombian police smashed a heroin trafficking gang
on Tuesday that smuggled the drug into the United States hidden in the
stomachs of their recruits, a police spokesman said.
Six of the eight people arrested in a southern neighbourhood of Bogota were
thought to be the gang ringleaders, who recruited unemployed and destitute
people to serve as smugglers, paying them with false passports, a U.S. visa
and a small amount of cash, the spokesman said.
Two of the detainees were being prepared for a drug run and were found to
have swallowed as many as 90 capsules of heroin. REUTER
