Police officers simultaneously raided 23 homes in London and 25
sites in Colombia -- arresting at least a dozen people -- in an
attack against a drug cartel based near Cali, Colombia, British
officials said. Authorities in London arrested 12 people from South
America, while officers in Colombia apprehended an unknown number of
people. The raid against what British officials call the "biggest
drug operation" in British history ends a two-year operation that
already had resulted in 20 arrests and the seizure of $32 million of
coc aine.
