...boss, the justice minister. The real reason for the firing, say Mbeki's opponents, was Pikoli's delay in reinstating the corruption charges against Zuma - and his issue, on Sept. 10, of an arrest warrant for Jackie Selebi, the country's top policeman and the current head of Interpol. Selebi, an ANC heavyweight and another key Mbeki ally, has long been under fire for failing to tackle South Africa's raging violent crime.

Some of the shipments that law enforcement authorities have been able to track down have been enormous. In May, a Cessna 441 twin-prop aircraft registered in the U.S. offloaded 630 kg of cocaine at an airport in Mauritania, and took off again. The crew then abandoned the aircraft in the desert about 125 km away and fled. Mauritanian police believe the scheme involves European dealers, and have questioned Belgian and French citizens. In early June, police in Belgium said they had cracked...
