Police Crack Down on Caribbean Drug Ring with Ties to Hizbullah
[AFP/Naharnet-Lebanon] Police from seven countries arrested 17 people in the island of Curacao Tuesday suspected of involvement in an international drug ring with links to Hizbullah, Dutch authorities said. "The organization had international contacts with other criminal networks that financially supported Hizbullah in the Middle East. Large sums of drug money flooded into Lebanon, from where orders were placed for weapons that were to have been delivered from South America," the Dutch prosecution service said in a statement.
