US-British operation nets 2000kg cocaine
The United States coast guard has announced the capture of more than 2,000 kilos of cocaine in a joint operation with the British navy.
The drugs were seized from a Panamanian-flagged freighter after it was intercepted by a British warship, HMS Northumberland, off the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.
The vessel was travelling from the Colombian port of Baranquilla to Surinam and then on to Europe.
