[Article by Hi:ranthi WijesinhaJ
[Text] Police and Customs parties last morning carried out a series cf
raids on houses in Colombo and the suburbs following the detection of a
r.?assive consignment of hashish and opium on a Pakietani national who had
been attempting to smuggle the narcotics into Sri Lanka. _
- The 18 slabs of tiashish and one ounce of raw opium found in the false -
bottom of a suitcase by Customs off icers at the Colombo Airport Katunayake
has now been valued at 100,000 rupees. �
Customs investigations have now revealed that this consignment which was
to be held in transit in Sri Lanka was intended for markets in the United _
States. This consignment according to the Customs had a street value of
over-one million rupees in the United States.
Documents recovered from the Pakistani national who had emplaned from
Karachi also gave the names of a number of Sri Lankans who are believed
to be linked in a massive international drug trafficking network.
Customs detection and intelligence reports n~w indicate that large quan-
tities of hashish and opium are moving out of Pakistan to the Western capi-
tals through Sri Lanka. Customs officers who had detected a number of
foreigners bringing hashish into the country over the past two years
have been aware of a Sri Lankan coi:nection but had not been able to uncover
- it. Following the det~ction DIG R. Suntheralingam Crimes and Narcotics ~

PAST~, BOGOTA DRUG RINGS RAIDED
' Bogota EL TIEMPO in Spanish 4 Jan 80 p 2-A
[Text] Detectives of the DAS [Administrative Department of Security] dealt
severe blows to drug trafficking organizations in the past few hours when
they seized 16 kg of pure cocaine in Pasto and broke up a gang of marihuana
distributors in Bogota from whom they seized 540 kg of the drug.
In Pasto
In Pasto the DAS, in coordination with agents from the Office of the National
Attorney General, detected a shipment when it was being transported between
Ipiales and Pasto. The drug was hidden in a vehicle coming from Ecuador.
Angel Gomez Gomez, nativ2 of E1 Tablon (Narino), Conrado Guarin Obando,
native of Restrepo (Valle) and Conrado Guarin Zapata, apparently a relative
of the latter, and also from Restrepo, were arrested during the operation. _
The seized drug was later destroyed.
In Bogota
At the same time in Bogota DAS age~ts seized 540 kg of marihuana from a gang
that was engaged in "retail" distribution in various neighborhoods of Bogota.
The marihuana was found in two separate houses, one located on First Avenue
: No 2-02, and the other on 12-A Street No 43-41 Altamira section.
The following members of the gang were arrested: Jose Vicente Mora Robayo,
Hector and Victor Manuel Arteaga Cubides, Alvaro Hernan Cardozo, Albeiro
Ossa Lopez, Rodelfo Villanueva, Luis Carlos Jimenes Hurtado and Oliva
Saavedra Calderon.
According to statements by those arrested, the seized marihuana came from

COCAINE SEIZED AT ELDORADO AIRPORT
Bogota EL ESPECTADOR in Spanish 22 Jan 80 p 11-A
[Text] Close to 4,000 grams of totally pure cocaine were discovered yesterday _
afternoon by agents detailed to the Judicial Police of the Office of the
Naticnal Attorney General at the Eldorado International Airport.
The drug--of the "fishbone" type--was hidden in two fine suitcases with
double bottoms which have been returned from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
According to officials who found the drug, this is a new method used by
the drug traffickers in order to throw off federal agents, because these
- suitcases are not claimed until several days after their arrival at the
destination. This makes it easier for the persons interested in the
contents of the suitcases because they are carefully inspected, since it
is returned baggage.
The 4 kg of the drug were duly packed in the same number of secret compart-
ments in each one of the tops of the two suitcases. Its initial cost was
hard to determine, however it could reach $5 million on the U.S. black
market because the drug is so pure.
The two suitcases arrived at Eldoradci yesterday approximately at 1700 hours
on an Avianca flight.
This is the second blow dealt by the Office of Attorney General this year,
because as can be remembered last 3 January several kilograms of hashish
which were attempted to be taken to Europe and the United States were seized.

[TextJ Quito, 18 Feb (EFE)--President Jaime Roldos has been presented with
a formal letter of protest in connection with the hijacking in the past 4
_ years of 3 planes with almost 200 people on board while on flights over
Ecuadorean territory.
The top authorities in Azuay Province, in the south, have sent President ~
Roldos a letter asking him to appeal to the international community "to
help affirm the general suspicion that these are international crimes."
The three missing craft--two Vickers viscounts and a light aircraft owned
by the National Companies Saeta and Ecuavia--were declared missing in 1976,
1978 and 1979. Nothing has been learned since about their fates.
Resources as varied as space technology, Clairvoyants and numerous foot
patrols have been ussd in the search. The results have been completely ~
negative.
The note sent to President Roldos and published today by the magazine
VISTAZO, states: "Conjectures that have increased with the passing of time
seem to indicate that these aircraft and their innocent victims have heen ~
taken beyond our national b~rders in order to impose on these victims who
knows what type of distressing conditions." ,
This statemsnt is apparently connected with reports published in the
Ecuadorean press according to which the missing planes may have been stolen
by drug traffickers to transport drugs.
According to these reports, the passengers, nearly 200 people whose fates
- are unknown, would be working in the collection and manufacture of the drugs.
- In view of thess circumstances, the signatories of the note ask President !
Roldos to keep in touch with the Colombian, Peruvian and Brazilian authori-
ties in order to conduct ~the necessary investigations and "disprove the '
assumption that the solution to thi.s problem lies in the jungle areas of

INTER-AFRICAN COLLOQUIUM ON DRUGS HELD IN DAKAR
Dakar LE SOLEIL in French 8 Jan 80 pp 1, 3
y
- [The first of three articles by Sidy Ga,ye]
[Excerpts] Late yesterday afternoon, in the School of Medicine and Pharmacy,
Mamadou Diop, the minister of Public Health, opened the firat international
colloquium on drug problems in French-speaking African countries. This cere-
mony, which was attended by representatives of four internatiunal organiza-
tions (cf LE SOLEIL Friday 5 January) and participants from 25 Fr~nch-speak- _
- ing black African countries, marked the starting point of a common concer- -
tation which will last over a week wi[h a view to establiahing an effective
strategy fcr combating drug addiction in Africa.
For a considerable period of time, two ideas were prevalent concerning drugs
in African countries. The first was that which we ourselves, as Africans,
held, namely that the drug problem was specifically related to our choice of
a development model. Young people having been occasionally overlooked in de-
velopment plans in several African countries, the only thing left for them -
to do was adopt certain outlets in order to avoid the daily problems which
an increasingly monetarized economic system was posing for them. Consequent-
ly, according to this commonly shared point of view, one had only to revise
the current systems to spare young people this scourga. We now realize that
this is not enough.
The second idea was that held by international opinion relative to the exis- -
tence of drug addiction in Africa south of the Sahara. For a long period of
time, in fact, it was maintained by international authorities that Africa had
been spared the ravages of drug addir.tion, which, in the present context, was
_ an aberration, for it has been proved in our time that drug addiction is not _
a problem exclusively affecting rich nations. Given the abundance of inex-
pensive psycho-drugs, any and everybody can obtain them without having to
spend enormous sums which the purchase of mari~uana or heroin, for example,
would require. It is all the easier, moreover, if one si~ply cultivates
plants the African soil harbors. To mention only a couple: metal datura, _
better known as 'katidiantiara' or also 'koubediara' and cannabis or Indian
hemp (hashish) which we commonly call "yamba."

APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000200060006-7
The debunking then of these two preposterous ideas gave rise to the idea of
organizing a colloauium at Dakar for, as Mamadou Diop put it, in hia opening _
address, with regard to daily experiences, "we are now obliged to admit that
the drug problem knows no confines and, ~ust as Europe, America and Asia, _
Africa is likewise threatened. The drug problem is in fact so complex and
has such diverse implications that no country is able to solve it by itaelf
by its own individual measures." This is why, no matter what economic sys-
tem is in effect, in order to combat effectively this scourge, regional and
international cooperation at a11 levels is necessary.
In order to bring about such cooperation, the narcotics division of the UN, -
the CIPAT (International Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse), the World
Health Organization, and the International Narcotics Control Agency have made
' it known, through their respective representatives, that they are ready, at
the end of this colloquium, to act in order to attain this objective. "It
is certainly not our business to formulate orientations for Africans," Dr
_ Ongue of the CIPAT said in so many words, "but we are ready to furnish them
all the required cooperation to the extent of our ability. It is for these
reasons that we are in Dakar."
This colloquium will offer each representative the opportunity to draw up a
balance sheet of the drug addiction situation in his own country, and to
study, by means of the reports presented by various experts, the adequate
measures to be taken in a struggle which will be effective, because it will -
be coordinated, against the scourge which drugs represent.
ThankS to the exchange of information and the development of regional co~per- -
ation, on the one hand, and between the African countries and specialized
agencies, on the other, there is room for hope that this colloquium will truly
mark an important stage in the struggle undertaken to stamp out drug addiction
in our modern society.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION NEEDID TO STEM DRUG USE
Dakar LE SOLEIL in French 9 Jan 80 p 3
[Second of three articles by Sidy Gaye]
[E~tcerpts] The proceedings of the first international colloquium on drug
addiction in French-speaking African countries truly got underway yesterd~y,
featuring reports from several representatives on the drug situation in
- their respective countries. All total, five countries followed one another
to the tribune, Morocco, Algeria, Togo, Benin and Senegal in that ordero
In all of the speeches, the lecturers revealed that insofar as drugs are
concerned, only cannabis or Indian hemp [hashish], which we Senegalese call
"yamba," constitutes, for the time being, a special problem in their country.
This stems from the fact, of course, that this plant is generally produced
- locally: this is the case in Morocco, in Algeria and, to a les~er degree,
in Benin, but especially in Senegal, where our marshy regions are very
favorable to the expansion of such cultivationo
If in Algeria the phenamenon is on a sma11 scale, since heretofore it has
been observed that users were recruited among retired persons because of
the survival of certain traditions, this is no longer so in Morocco or in
Senegal, for example, in spite of repressive measures which have been taken
in these two countrieso
However, in addition to the problezn posed by the use of cannabis, resort to
psychotropes, which are medicinal substances which act on the user's
psychism, has been especially deplored. In fact, if it is true that the
International Agency for the Control of Narcotics has established an inter-
national convention to regulate the import and export of such medicine, we
are obliged to state that this has not done much to help alleviate the
danger.
Among French-speaking African countries, only seven have ratified the con-
' vention and if only one country dealing in psychotropes refuses to enforce
the convention's provisions, this would suffice to render null and void the

efforts undertaken on behalf of the others. Thus we are witnessing in
Africa an alarming development in the use of such substances which, event-
ually, will amount to a substitition for drugs, produced naturally.
Well then, international cooperation has proved to be necessary on this
precise point, because limiting exports is our only hope of salvation.
This second day also made it possible to detect among participating countries
certain deficiencies in the struggle against drug addiction. The most suit-
able example is Togo. In this country, which serves as a staging area for
the drug traffic between adjacent countries, especially Nigeria and Ghana,
- there is no institutionalized struggle against drug addiction. This may be
explained, according to the speaker from Togo, by the simple reason that the
use of drugs is not yet widely practised in his country. But in the opinion
of certain participants, this is not a satisfactory reason because such -
negligence harms neighboring countrieso It is, however, hoped that this
colloquium will play an effective role in motivating Togalese authorities
- to become aware of the importance of such questions.
On a much more general level, it has became evident, as Jacques Bodin, an
attorney, said, that the African legislator has heretofore been preoccupied
with setting in place repressive institutions to discourage drug cseo This
is insufficient because the drug addict was a sick person before becoming
a delinquent: it is thus necessary to think about creating infrastructures
to aid addicts reintegrate the social surroundings they hail from,
Such initiatives would make it possible to avoid the contagious phenamenon
which we observe especially in Senegal where the drug addict, who is
generally prohibited from staying in regional capitals, constitutes a grave -
danger for our rural populationso
In order to accomplish this, the eternal problem of ineans arises, however,
which is why an appeal was launched to developed nations, so that, at the
end of this colloquiiun, increased aid may be granted to poor nations,

seriously established, body of information. The struggle against drug ad-
diction is no exception to this postulate. This is why the participants in
the International Colloquium on Drug Problems in French-speaking African
countries dedicated their morning sessions yesterday to a concertation with
a view to working out a common methodology which would require not only the
collaboration of the scientific services involved (pharmacists, doctors,
psychologists) but also that of the people in the field: services of re-
pression, customs agents, sociologists, etc....
Discussions in workshops yesterday morning clearly revealed that such an
ideal is difficult to attain. To be sure it is easy to record the number
of people arrested for possession of or illegal traffic in drugs or medic-
inal substances used as drugs but where the question becomes extremely dif-
ficult is when it is a question of doing the same for those who use them in
the atrictest secrecy. This invisible part of the iceberg, quite properly
evoked by a gendarme (there are about 10 of them representing this group at
the colloquium), constitutes the very crux of the problem of data gathering.
However, the carrying out of an epidemiological and sociological inquest is
the only guarantee of truly effective ackion. This is even vitally impor-
tant, as Father Issa Lo said, and if we ~an take pleasure in noting that the
_ Moroccan authorities have thought about developing substitute crops such as
wine grapes in order to dissuade farmers from cultivatind cannabis, it is
also apparent that such initiatives cannot succeed without firsthand know-
ledge of the total area under cultivation, of the farmers involved, and of
their fundamental motivation.
This gathering of data at all levels involved is also necessary in order to
carry out the international strategy worked out by the OICS (International
Narcotics Control Agency) and the narcotics division of the UN.

In order to take better action in the countries involved, these agencies
need reliable statistics which would make it possible for them to determine
the scope of the phenomenon and make available to applicants required leg-
islative or material means.
Confronted therefore by the urgent need for information which had been col-
lected in earnest, the participants in the colloquium emphasized that it
was necessary for every country to eatablish a national commission to combat
drug addiction. But it is equally necessary to reorganize all of the de-
partments involved by creating in them statistics offices which will have, -
among other duties, that of registering all drug addicts and giving a quan-
titative idea of the toxic substances regularly taken.
The creation of a centralized agency in each country and the compilation
- of statistics, starting at scratch, which reflect the real situation would
already constitute a great step forward in'the suppression of drug addic-
tion in Africa.
Effective control at the national level would further aid authorities to be-
come aware of the danger represented by the spread of drug addiction in our
societies.
_ The initiatives the participants in the colloquium wanted to see adopted at
the national level do not stop there. In the afternoon sessions they took
up the application in a national context of control measures taken at the
international level.
From a"diagnosis" drawn up by Father Bayer of Hungary, it was evident that
the list of psychotropic substances drawn up internationally in order to
limit their use to medical and scientific purposes is not entirely complete.
Greater cooperation at the national level is therefore required. Local auth-
orities should e~:en if the need arise draw up supplementary lists in order
to better adapt these international treaties.
It is known that the scarcity of doctors in poor nations encourages certain
paramedical personnel to write prescriptions even if they do not possess
thQ required competency. Many pharmacists, likewise, sell medicine consid-
ered to he dangerous, because it is made from artificial druas, without re- ~
quiring a prescription from their customers. This constitutes an enormous
danger which drew the attention of the collaquium participants who hoped at
this level also for stricter supervision on the part of the departments con-
cerned.

NATO SOLDIERS OFFER NARCOTICS TO NORWEGIAN GIRLS
Oslo ARBEIDERBLADET in Norwegian 10 Jan 80 p 3
[Text] On 28 Febraary 2 yeara ago, a group of young girls, 13-17 yeare
old, were offered narcotics by NATO soldiers at a dance at Moen's community
center in Malselv in Troms. The nationality of the NATO aoldiers is not
known.
"At about the same time of the year English NATO soldiers were in Andselv
with a truck and trailer. They had loaded it with alcohol which they did
not want to take to England. The liquor was sold 20 kr a bottle. Young
people under 15 years of age were in the line of those eager to make
purchases."
This is what the former youth leader in Malselv, Roar Schei, informs
NORDLANDS FRAMTID. The above information is the domumentary basis for the
charges which he has made recently in the media. He maintains that NATO
soldiers who participate in maneuvers in North Norway sell both alcohol and
narcotics and that it can be done easily because of the lack of controls on
the part of the Norwegian authorities. He maintaina that alcohol and
narcotics are sold to young people in Malselv.
This evidence was to be presented to the Malselv m~~nicipal council today
in connection with an inquiry into the matter, but the chairman of the
municipality has waived summoni~ng the former youth leader.
Deterring Counteroffensive
"My wish in this is that the reeponsible suthorities will inv~etigate what
actually is going on in this matter today and come up with a deterring
counterattack. It would be desirable to obtain a permanent custome station
for the mid-Troms district at Bardufoss to cover both military and civil
needs.
"I have found it necessary to come forward with this. In my previous ~ob
as youth leader for this municipality, I wae to act as apokeaman for the

young people and to influence the authorities to safeguard the cultural
environment for the youth of the community. Such conditions as described
here are destructive to both the environment and culture," Schei says.
Intensified Control -
The commander of the defense forces in north Norway, Lt Gen T~nne Huitfeldt,
informs FRAMTTD that it is desirable to intensify controls in connection
with accepting NATO soldiers for maneuvers in north Norway districts from
now on.
"We want not only to provide better information regarding Norwegian alcohol
and narcotics laws for visitors but also to develop preventive measures
after they are on Norwegian soil. We shall begin inspections on their
arrival and not only when symptoms appears".
"Will dogs be used for this ~ob?"
"Yes, I presume so," Huitfelt says. _

SEVERAL LARGE DRUG SEIZURES REPORTED
Oslo ARBEIDERBLADET in Norwegian 27 Oct 79 p 3
[Text] The customs service has made several large
confiscations of narcotica since it was strength-
ened earlier this year to increase control over
narcotic smuggling.
That is what acting customs district chief Bernhard H~iden tell the
Norwegian Press Bureau. He is head of customs' district No 2 for ~atfold
and the airfields at Fornebu and Gardermoen. Since August of this year
special narcotic units have been established at the customa stations at
Fornebu and Fredrikstad. -
"Our experience with their work is so good that we shall shortly expand
the narcotic unit at Fornebu from 3 to 5 officials, and from 2 to 3 customa
officers at Fredrikstad," H~iden says. In addition, five aarcotics dogs
are stationed in �stfold which is included in the plans for intensified
narcotic controls at customs atations.
Twelve narcotic units altogether have been established at the large -
customs stations in the country, and 35 custom officials hold special
narcotic poaitions. This is a result in part of the recommendations of
the under secretary of state's commission for combating the misuse of
narcotics, which lead to the cuetoms' budget obtaining appropriations to
establish 12 special positions for controlling the smuggling of narcotice.
The tightened narcotic controla at Gardermoen and Fornebu have also lead
= to a tightening of the other controls. The customs people, in addition,
- regard increased control over the transport of goods as an important task.
"Otherwise, we now put great emphasis on plugging the holes which we know
from experience were used in smuggling narcotics. In Fredrikatad the
checking of passengers on trains from Sweden and the continent has increased. ~
We have gotten technical resourcea which enable us to note all emall plane
traffic in Norway and hence to direct manpower from other custom statione
to where they might be needed", H~1den eaid.

In addition to the train, small plane traffice, the customs officials
in the 2d customs district can keep a bettar eye on the many travelers
coming by charter plane from abroad.
"Confiscations made at Gardermoen have shown that it is not only the
traditional items such as tobacco and liquor which the tourists try to
smuggle into the country but also narcotics", H~iden says.
Trailer traffic from the neighboring countries and the continent will be
watched more carefully. The experience of other countries shows that
considerable quantities of narcotics smuggled in this manner.

NARCOTIC OVERDOSES KILLED 22 IN OSLO LAST YEAR
Oslo AFTENPOSTEN in Norwegian 9 Jan 80 p 35
[TextJ Ztaenty-seven people lost their lives last year from narcotic over-
doses last ,year, and death from narcotics seems overwhelmingly to involve
young people. The chief of the narcotic division of the Oslo police
departmnnt, Police Inspector Arne Huuae, revealed at a press conference
of the chief of golice S~esterda}- that the reported deaths in 1978 involved
young people 18 to 22 years old. ~aenty-two of the deaths occurred in
Oslo.
The narc~tic division has once again recorded a large increase in drug
- offences. The 1417 police reports represent a 39 percent increase over the
previous year. 1315 people were arrested, 420 were fined, while 289 were
sentenced to prison. 27 of these were sentenced for profesaional dealing
in narcotics.
At the same time confiscation of narcotic substances has increased. Last
year over 47 kilograms of cannabis were confiacated, 9 kilo~ more than in
1978. In addition 271 grams of heroin and 13 grams of cocaine were confis-
cated. Police Inspector Huuse revealed that the use of amphetamines is
decreasing strongl}, and that misuse involves inatead hard substances such
as heroin. The misuse of substances involves steadily younger age groupe. _
Huuse did not want to estimate how many narcotic misusera there are in
Oslo or how much stuff passes each day. They would only be guesaes, and
- he only pointed to the increasing number of reports as a consequence of a
ateadily larger misuse. In Sweden it is eatimated that only betwsen 5
to 10 percent of the narcotics smuggled into the country and distributed
is seized", Huuse said.
The narcotics division has taken the initiative in improving cooperation
- among the Nordic countries and with the police departmenta in Norway where
Oslo's narcotics police is the central organ for investigation. iiuuse
knows that between 80 to 90 percent of the narcotic deals orginate abroad
and hence it is urgent to have more extenaive international cooperation.

"Narcotics d~ not follow the usual travel routes, but ~.an, for example, be
sent from Copenhagen to Stockholm via Norway. There is therefore a clear
need for expanded cooperation on both the operating and administrative
levels," Huuse said.
He underlined the necessity for the narcotics police to get at the big
narcotic sharks as far as possible, and he believed that to a degree one -
had succeeded with the 27 who were sentenced for professional dealing. He -
_ pointed out that most of those apprehended were arrested for a combination
of misuse and dealing.
_ "We plan to catch the big narcotic sharks, but we are also focusing at the
same time on reducing the tainted narcotic sections we have here in the
city," Huuse said. The Oslo police are consequently interested in the
experience which the Copenhagen police have had with the so-called unrest
patrols in which narcotic investigators cooperate with officials from the
law and order division.
Police Chie� Rolf Solem emphasizes at the same time that the misuae of
alcohol is the largeat intoxicating drug problem confronting the police. -
~
There is hardly a crime co~itted in the country which is not associated
with the influence of alcohol, and by far most of the crimes for gain and
violent crimes are committed by intoxica~ed people," he said.

~ EVER~t~.~7TEI NORWEGIAN SOLDIER HAS BEEN INVOLVED 'WI'TH NARCOTICS
Oslo � ARBEIDERB~,ADET in Norwegian 11 Sep 79 n 3
[Text] Every seventh Norwegian soldier has been involved with narcotics ~
.eiCher be~ore~or after his first military servic~e began. That is evident
from the.,'~igures which the defense establishment's special investigative
, group copcerritng narcotics in the brigade in north Norway has presented,
. according~ to MAIQNSKAPSAV~SA.
- "The in~estigating group which at present is called "Narko-North" was
estab~~ished in June last year and consists of 2 off.icers, a police official
and a solciier in charge of the narcotics dog. Since its creation the group
has used the majority of its time t4 travel around to the different
military pasts to brief the command on narcotic problems and how the misuse
of narcotics can be detected in the ranks", the enlisted men's paper writes.
The f~Lst cases of narcotic misuse in the Brigade North were detected in
1971, one year after the first narcotic abuses were noted in military
camps in the south. Everything indicates that the narcotic substances
~ found in camps in North Norway were obtained in South Norway by soldiers
on leave. In only a few cases do narcotic misuses in North Norway military
, camps have ramifications beyond the camp's bounds into the civilian community. ~
At a youth conference recently, arranged in Malselv, Lt Egil Rasmussen
- from "Narko-Nord" warned young people against having too close contact with
s~ldi~rs from foreign units engaged in ~aneuvers each wi.nter in the interior
of Troms. On several occasions foreign soldiers have had along narcotics
which they tried to sell on the civilian market. "On one occasion at
Bod~, an individual soldier, from what I've heard, smuggled in cocaine with
a market value of 100,000 kr. This is a very current problem", the
lieutendnt said. -
