Do Not Return to Sender: 16 Kilos of Cocaine Mailed to U.N. Headquarters

A botched attempt at sending 16 killos of cocaine lands the drug in the mailroom of the United Nations
AP / United Nations, Paulo Filgueira
Gregory B. Starr, Under Secretary General of the United Nations for Safety and Security, displays a photo of two bags that contained 16 kilograms of cocaine seized last week at the U.N.'s mail intake center.

 

The powder, discovered January 16, was in two white bags meant to look like diplomatic pouches, stamped with a bogus U.N. logo and sent from Mexico City through a DHL shipping center in Cincinnati. But a real U.N. diplomatic pouch is blue, has a lock and features the authentic seal of the organization. By international law, those pouches are not normally inspected or opened.

 

Workers at the U.N.’s postal receiving center were screening the bag, which had no destination or return address, when the cocaine — which has a street value of $2 million — was found in hollowed-out notebooks. Browne said the bags likely wound up at the actual U.N. building by accident.

So, 16Kg(35lbs) of cocaine has a street value of 2 million. That comes out to 125,000 per kilo, 125 per gram and 3,500 per ounce...of course this is all before the powder gets stepped on as it flows down the chain of dealers....


I like the fact that the article goes into detail on the senders' mistake.

Jeez, why don't they just print 'Hey guys if you're reading, the bag needs to be Pantone 279 blue, with the UN symbol in white - you'll find a detailed vector graphic on wikipedia - and these folks can make you one to spec'

What is it about that logo that appeals to me all of a sudden? I can identify with it, but I can't put my finger on it just yet.

Somebody messed up.. Nothing happens by "accident " especially a couple million dollars worth .. Geez

Dismounted patrols, in conjunction with their route clearance missions, have lead to a significant decrease in insurgent activity in the Dorifshan and Baluchi valleys and an increase in not only the safety and security of the coalition and Afghan Security Forces, but also helped the unit form a bond with the local Afghan civilians.
