SMUGGLERS' BLUES

North Korean Meth - International Smuggling Operation Busted

[Image: Hkg9215732.jpg]

Five men ^ were arrested in September, extradited from Thailand, and are now on trial in Manhattan.

They're accused of trying to smuggle North Korean-produced meth to the Philippines for later distribution into the U.S. The men are from Hong Kong, Great Britain, and Thailand.

The meth was tested as 99% pure - much higher quality than meth produced elsewhere, according to experts.

I had no idea that North Korea was a meth-production mecca. Seems it was originally produced there to supply the growing meth demand in China, but has become a problem in North Korea as citizens there look to it as a kind of "medicine" and a means to suppress appetite in the midst of famine.
