Full Story (http://www.local6.com/news/3888839/detail.html)
The juice boxes were part of a private shipment that wasn\'t destined for the United States food supply, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents said. The juice would be deadly if consumed.
Wow, could they not have a more ghetto juice drink, don\'t they at least have Hi-C?

It wasn\'t destined for the US, but it was deadly juice... so who was it targeted at? Iran?

Liquefied Heroin Discovered In Fruit Juice Boxes In Florida
POSTED: 2:27 am EST November 4, 2004
UPDATED: 1:44 pm EST November 4, 2004
MIAMI -- Nearly 100 fruit juice boxes containing liquid heroin were intercepted Wednesday in a shipment from Colombia, federal officials said.
The juice boxes were part of a private shipment that wasn\'t destined for the United States food supply, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents said. The juice would be deadly if consumed.
The 6-ounce boxes, labeled "Hit Fruit Drink," contained a total of 38 kilograms, or about 84 pounds, of heroin worth $1.7 million.
Customs agents said the juice was initially bought from a grocery store in Colombia, then emptied and refilled with heroin. The shipment was relabeled and five pallets of boxes were shipped alongside pallets of legitimate juice boxes, the agents said.
The pallets were intercepted at an undisclosed location in Miami and federal agents are working to track the drug dealers responsible, customs agents said.
In 1990, a 25-year-old man died after drinking a cocaine-laced Colombian soft drink that was part of a drug smuggling scheme. It went awry when burglars broke into a warehouse, stole cases of the drink not knowing what they contained, and sold them to local grocers.
The FBI discovered at least 45 contaminated bottles of Pony Malta, some on store shelves.

My theory is: if you want to summarize the article in one sentence and provide a link, that\'s cool. However, if you don\'t even provide the most important point of the article (the juiceboxes contained heroin), then just providing a link is not enough. Not to mention that when an article this short, copying the whole article is no hardship.

You think it was misleading or something?
-
I wonder if they check everything that comes through or if they had a tip.
-
Perhaps they were just thirsty.
BTW, thanks for Coredweller for helping the lazy. ;)
