Cocaine found in frozen sharks
MEXICO CITY - THE Mexican Navy discovered a container ship full of frozen sharks packed with cocaine, authorities announced.

The shipment was discovered off the eastern state of Yucatan on board the 12-metre, Marshall Islands-flagged Dover Strait, which had left from Houston, Texas, the navy said.

'At this time, proceedings are underway to determine the total weight of the shipment, and to examine other containers transported aboard the same ship,' it added in a statement. -- AFP
