LA PAZ, Shawwal 27, 1437, August 01, 2016, SPA -- Bolivian police have seized 7.5 tonnes of cocaine and arrested three Bolivians in a massive bust of drugs headed for Honduras and likely eventual sale in the United States, a government official said on Monday, according to Reuters. The haul, which was hidden in a cargo of minerals, would be worth over $160 million in Honduras and $350 million in the United States, Bolivian interior minister Carlos Romero said at a news conference. Romero said the cocaine had been intercepted in trucks carrying borates along a remote mountain pass that connects Bolivia with Chile's sea ports. In May, Colombian police confiscated 8 tonnes of cocaine, which officials described as one of the largest in the history of the country. --SPA 00:01 LOCAL TIME 21:01 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
