The Caracas connection

Aleksander Boyd reports in Vcrisis.com on the second seizure of a major shipment of cocaine coming out of Caracas airport on a flight to Mexico.

It seems that the ever so efficient Venezuela Connection keeps sending thousands of kilograms of cocaine to airports and ports all around the world. Nearly a year ago, on April 11 2006, Mexican authorities seized 5.5 tonnes of high purity cocaine in Ciudad del Carmen's airport. Today Mexican daily El Universal reports that nearly a ton of cocaine was seized aboard a plane arriving from Venezuela in Mexico City's International Airport: 25 pieces of luggage -from flight 374 of Mexicana de Aviacion- were detected containing the drugs.

But this is not the first instance where drugs coming from Venezuela -in that very flight- have been seized in Mexico City's airport.
He notes that Venezuela under Chavez has declined to cooperate with United States anti-drug smuggling efforts.
