An AFP report which is IMHO very significant if terrorism is directly funded by the such traffic in heroin and for regional LE. From the sub-title:
HMAS Melbourne discover vessel carrying heroin with a street value of £380 million off the coast of Tanzania during terrorism deterrent mission in the region
Link to story in DTelegraph:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-Tanzania.html

The Australian Navy statement includes:
These seizures have severely impacted the funding network of those terrorist organisations that rely on these shipments for income.
Less clear is what the RAN actually did with the vessel and crew:
A team from the frigate seized the drugs, took samples and destroyed the remainder.
A few photos here:http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-02-0...s-haul/5246840

The ship is part of the currently Australian-led CTF 150, which:
The task force conducts maritime security and interdiction operations to deter terrorism and promote peace and security in the maritime regions of the Middle East and Indian Ocean.
I don't watch this region that closely, but cannot recall such a large seizure of heroin before. Where was the ship heading? Southwards towards South Africa I suspect.

Anyway an interesting event.
