Eastern Europe's New Bad Guys
</hdr><body>
<p>By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
</p>
<p> Just about every kind of entrepreneur has talked up the
emerging opportunities in the new Eastern Europe, but now
Colombia's powerful CALI DRUG CARTEL is exploring the
possibilities. In October, Czechoslovak authorities seized 100
kg of cocaine hidden in a truckload of Colombian coffee. After
the coffee was traced to a Polish ship that had stopped in
Colombia, Polish police uncovered another 100 kg in the rest of
the shipment, which was sitting in a Warsaw warehouse. U.S. Drug
EnAdministration officials speculate that the cartel hopes to
take advantage of the legal chaos in the region to transship
narcotics to West European customers. Last week FBI director
William Sessions visited Warsaw to offer Polish officials help
in modernizing their police system.
