Four tons of hashish seized on Spanish rescue ship

Spanish police seized 4.3 tons of hashish from a
privately-owned Spanish rescue ship in the Mediterranean, a spokesman
said Sunday in Madrid.
Fifteen suspected drug smugglers - including three crew members of
the ship - were arrested, according to dpa.
The ship was in private possession but was used by the rescue
services.
Smugglers have used this method before to bring hashish from
Morocco to the Spanish holiday island of Ibiza. Those arrested were
from Spain, Columbia, Romania and Morocco.
