Nvidia Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Take this for what it's worth... just found it through another website. I don't know if it was already posted, but I did a search for both 'cocaine' and 'Osama Bin Laden' and nothing came up. 'BIN LADEN'S COCAINE PLOT' Osama bin Laden tried to buy a massive amount of cocaine, spike it with poison and sell it in the United States hoping to kill thousands, according to reports. The plot failed when Colombian drug lords decided it would be bad for business if they got involved in the deal. An investigation by the US Drug Enforcement Administration has examined how advanced the plot became when it was hatched a year after the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington. The Washington Post has reviewed a document detailing the DEA's findings in the matter, in addition to interviewing sources familiar with the case. Osama bin Laden personally met leaders of a Colombian drug cartel to in 2002 to negotiate the purchase of tons of cocaine, saying that he was willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to finance the deal. "They wanted to kill thousands of people - more than the World Trade Centre," said a source. Although the drug lords would have reaped millions of dollars in profits by selling the cocaine to bin Laden, they knew that if his plan succeeded it might effectively destroy the market for their cocaine in America. The other was their fear of retaliation from the US government once its citizens started to die from the drugs, according to sources. In 2002, the then DEA Director Asa Hutchinson said: "The DEA [has] received multi-source information that Osama bin Laden himself has been involved in the financing and facilitation of heroin-trafficking activities. "It is important we recognise that when money goes from the pocket of an American to buy drugs, it may contribute to the financing of unspeakable crimes of violence around the world." Earlier this year, Afghan tribal leader Hajji Bashir Noorzai who was one of the most wanted drug dealers in the world and previously had been identified as bin Laden's major heroin supplier, was arrested in New York City on federal criminal charges. SOURCE: Poisoned Cocaine Some have said it's all a scare tactic in "The War on Drugs", and others I've talked to said it's real. Any thoughts?

revvo Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Drugs like cocaine already kill. Now they just gonna kill more. People who buy cocain or drugs like xtc or heroin should know that they aren't 100% of what they get. If a person has a "trusted dealer", I doubt the dealer would accept such a thing that would damage his business as mentionned earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idleist Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Most street dealers try out whatever they're selling. And your average street-dealer downtown isn't going to be recieving word from the high-up if that (the article talks about) was the case. So, chances are that he'll die himself before he attempts to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb815 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 One way to get coke heads to stop using. 586305613[/snapback] Nope, they will risk it all for the next fix. Nothing short of quiting cold turkey and being watched 24/7 can get someone off that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metro Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 If Osama really wanted to kill people off with poisoned drugs, he should go after the tweekers. Meth is such a problem in most places, even more than cocaine has ever been. Meth heads are just plain gross horrible people who would steal from you and help you look for the stolen stuff then sell it for their dope. It is too bad people destroy themselves like that. A damn shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
