Third Cocaine Plane Surfaces and is Tied to Web of Government Connections Drug War Beginning to Look Like One Giant Cover Story By Bill Conroy Special to The Narco News Bulletin January 29, 2008 On a fall evening in a cotton field in Nicaragua, a group of armed men placed a series of torches in a line of planters along a makeshift runway. About half an hour later, around 9 p.m. that evening, Friday, Nov. 26, 2004, a twin-prop Beechcraft King Air 200 touched down on that rural runway and came to a stop. The assembled men began to unload the plane, which was packed with cocaine, while holding the sole witness to the event, a local field hand, captive.

They departed the area in trucks with the plane's valuable payload, leaving behind the lone witness, alive, and more than a half dozen AK-47 automatic rifles. Several days later, Nicaraguan law enforcers apprehended a truck headed for Honduras carrying 1,100 kilos of cocaine. The driver was arrested and the cocaine payload seized. The Nicaraguan law enforcers said the source of the seized dope appeared to be the Beech 200 found abandoned in the cotton field. Police had found traces of cocaine onboard the aircraft as well. http://www.narconews.com/Issue49/article2989.html |
