2005-09-17
Turkish authorities seized Friday some 65,488 kilograms of pure heroin in three trucks near the Iranian borders, according to Anadolu news agency. It quoted security sources as saying the police forces stopped three trucks at a border crossing and seized the narcotics, with a value estimated at some USD 800 million. They added that the heroin was destined to be sold in Europe. Drivers of the trucks were arrested and questioned, said the sources. Turkey is a passageway for drug smuggling from Iran and Afghanistan to Europe.

#5  This is probably just freelancing by one of the mullahs. Probably building his nest egg just in case he has to leave the country in a hurry.

To my non-expert eyes, this could indicate that the MM are in worse shape than we thought-- in the grand scheme of things, this sort of illegal activity actualy dosent make much money for states.

With that much smack I could get a diamond in the back, with a sun roof top.

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall

Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
....


Be Thankful For What You Got
