Nigerian Drugs

NPR'S Martha Raddatz reports on today's announcement by Clinton administration officials of the breakup of a major drug-trafficking ring they say was run by Nigerian nationals. Attorney General Janet Reno says US agents and authorities around the world have arrested thirty-four people in connection with the scheme, which federal officials say was tolerated by Nigeria's military government. Reno says the Nigerian ring operated from Southeast Asia to major American cities.
