Cocaine seized at UN headquarters in New York

Friday, 27 January 2012 - 11:35 AM

A bag containing 16kg of cocaine was found at the United Nations headquarters in New York last week.

The drugs were in a bag printed with a version of the UN symbol which arrived at the organisation's mailroom, setting off a security alert.

Spokesman Paul Browne said they seemed to have been delivered by accident.

There was no name or address on the shipment sent from Mexico City.
