US and Honduran coastguard patrol boats have seized 4.6 tonnes of cocaine stowed aboard a ship in the Caribbean Sea north of Honduras, said the Honduran commander of the maritime raid. The cocaine shipment apparently originated from Colombia and the seizure dealt "a harsh blow to drug trafficking" operations in the region, said Captain Juan Pablo Rodriguez.
He said six people, including the ship's captain, were arrested during the joint operation. "The final destination of this drug is always consumer countries north of us. We just serve as a bridge, or maritime route over which the drugs are carried," Rodriguez said. The seizure was carried
out under a co-operation agreement between US and Honduran patrols.
