NPR'S Jon Greenberg reports that federal officials said today that they had broken a major Mexican-Columbian drug ring with the arrests and indictments of dozens of drug dealers, couriers and traffickers. Twenty nine indictments were unsealed in Chicago and Midland, Texas, and 15 of those indicted were arrested today in several large U.S. cities. Federal authorities said dozens of earlier arrests were related to the ring, which transported cocaine from Colombia, over the U.S.-Mexican border and across the United States.
