US Coast Guard Captures Drug Submarine
 
From Yahoo...

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (Reuters) - The U.S. coast guard captured a submarine-like vessel equipped with sophisticated navigation equipment and stuffed with seven tonnes of cocaine, Costa Rican authorities said on Tuesday.
In a difficult nighttime operation during the weekend, U.S. officials arrested four Colombian smugglers on board the 59-foot (18-meter) steel and fiberglass vessel in international waters before they could sink it.
"The boat was partially submerged but you can't call it amateurish. The drug traffickers are not amateurs," Jose Pastor, a spokesman for Costa Rica's public security ministry told Reuters.

Ever thought about how many must be getting away with it in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific?

They can't catch them all ... I woundn't venture a guess to how many, but surely someone is gettting away with it.

No connection has been found to Al Queda, but it's just a matter of time from a tunnel or a submarine proves the enemy is constantly thinking.

Of the ones not getting caught, I wonder how many are at the bottom of the ocean wishing they had chosen a different profession.
