16kg of cocaine seized at UN's mail intake centerJanuary 27, 2012 - 10:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A New York Police Department spokesman says a shipment containing 16 kilograms of cocaine has been seized at the UN's mail intake center. According to AP, Paul Browne, NYPD's chief spokesman, said the drug was in a white bag that raised suspicions because it was stamped with what looked like a poorly concocted version of the UN logo. He says there was no name or address on the shipment sent from Mexico City through Cincinnati. Browne says UN security officials called the NYPD and Drug Enforcement Administration, which confirmed the substance inside the shipment intercepted Jan. 16 was cocaine. UN spokesman Martin Nesirky says neither the UN nor anyone located at UN headquarters was its intended recipient of the shipment.
