An eight‐year smuggling con spiracy brought heroin into the United States inside the bodies of soldiers killed in Vietnam, according to testimony from military and customs men in Federal court here.
Heroin is known to be bought in kilogram lots in Thailand for $1,700, smuggled into the Unit ed States sewn into the bodies of war victims and then sold for up to $20,000 a kilogram, the authorities testified yester day.
The alleged conspiracy in volves persons who apparently can move easily in and out of Vietnam war zones and are based partly in the Baltimore‐ Washington area, the authori ties said.
Federal agents told of an abortive raid on a military transport plane at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington last Monday in which the bodies of war victims were searched for smuggled drugs.
