ALGECIRAS (Agencies/Photo: EuropaSur) The Customs (SVA) patrol ship Petrel moored at the Isla Verde section of Algeciras amid heavy security by Guardia Civil special units. The area was cordoned off and armed guards were everywhere. And no wonder: just under twenty tones of cocaine were being disembarked, on its way to destruction. The drug was confiscated in a series of police operations in the Canary Islands over the last few months. The Petrel has no fixed base and is called 'the terror of drug smugglers' for its many succesful operations in the North and South Atlantic and sometimes in the Mediterranean. The cocaine unloaded yesterday -something that was not officially confirmed by the SVA- represents an incalculable amount of money, as well as a lot of misery.
