First drugs, then bombs and terrorist tools… now flu vaccine is being smuggled into the US:
Tipped off by a local hospital administrator who had been approached by someone about buying black market vaccine, agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement seized 8,000 doses on Nov. 16 at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Investigators had been waiting for the shipment for more than a week, spokesman Marc Raimondi said. The vaccine was shipped from the French drug company Aventis Pasteur to Saudi Arabia. It was then shipped by air via commercial carrier to New York, Raimondi said.
Funny how somehow, Saudi Arabia gets fingered in just about every act of smuggling these days. 🙂
