The flight crew of a Miami cargo jet has sued the Drug Enforcement Agency over a botched drug sting. Two years earlier, DEA agents in Belize placed 48 kilograms of cocaine on a DC-8—without telling the crew. When the plane stopped in Honduras on its return to Miami, local police discovered the drugs and imprisoned and tortured the flight drew. The crew was imprisoned for two weeks before U.S. authorities finally acknowledged that they had planted the drugs.
