Cocaine Found On Ship Run By PM's Former Company

Authorities suggest organized crime is behind an attempt to transport cocaine using the Sheila Ann, a ship operated by Canada Steamship Lines, the company Prime Minister Paul Martin transferred control of to his three sons last year. Two duffel bags stuffed with 83 kilograms of cocaine were found early Wednesday during a random search of the vessel, which was carrying coal from Venezuela to Sydney for Nova Scotia Power. The camera discovered the drugs in a grate attached to the bottom of the ship, resulting in what customs agents call a "cold hit" - a seizure that is essentially a fluke, neither the result of criminal intelligence nor informants. http://www.mytelus.com/news/article.do?pageID=news_home&articleID=1652376
