COCAINE Six packages of 170 kilos of cocaine have been found floating on
\nthe Black Sea close to the Bulgarian town of Shabla, not far from the Romanian
\nborder. The packages were wrapped in a life jacket and water-proof materials.
\nThe Romanian and Bulgarian authorities have been working on this case for a
\nweek now since a large quantity of cocaine was discovered on the Romanian Black
\nSea coast. An ample operation was mounted by prosecutors with the Romanian
\nDepartment for Organized Crime and Terrorism. The packages have been carried by
\nwaters to the sea from the Danube after a motorboat with 800 kilogram of
\ncocaine on board capsized. According to the Romanian police the drug has a
\nhigher concentration of over 90%, which can jeopardize the life of possible consumers.<\/p>\n
