Kokain-Schmuggel in U-Booten

In einem Sumpfgebiet Südamerikas wurde nun eine Anlegestelle für U-Boote entdeckt. Anscheinend nutzen Drogenschmuggler Untersee-Boote, um unbemerkt Tonnen von Kokain in die USA zu transportieren.

IN a scene that might have come from a James Bond thriller, a secret boatyard has been discovered in a South American swamp where drug barons were building submarines with the aim of landing tons of cocaine on to American beaches.

A pair of submarines found among Colombian mangroves 10 days ago has bolstered intelligence claims that narco-terrorists are forcing engineers to help them to acquire a means of evading coastguards and satellites.

The 50ft-long submarines were found on slipways close to a river that would have allowed them to escape through Colombia’s largest port, Buenaventura, and into the Pacific Ocean. One of the vessels was ready for its maiden voyage and the second was 70% complete. They were protected by armed guerrillas and camouflaged beneath tropical leaves.
