A Pakistani Navy ship seized narcotics worth more than $972 million from sailboats in the Arabian Sea, according to a statement issued on Tuesday from the naval network overseeing the operation. The Combined Maritime Force (CMF), a naval partnership that includes the United States, said the Pakistani naval vessel last week intercepted two different dhow sailing boats within 48 hours. The crew seized several tons of crystal methamphetamine and a smaller amount of cocaine, the CMF statement said. The intercepted vessels were “identified as having no nationality”, it said without indicating where they had originated.
