MIAMI BEACH -- U.S. Customs agents on Monday seized between
200 and 400 pounds of cocaine hidden inside cargo
containers on a freighter from Haiti.

The illegal cargo was concealed beneath a false bottom in
two refrigerated containers on the 200-foot freighter
Linaki when it arrived near Fisher's Island at the Port of
Miami, Customs spokesman Zachary Mann said.

The agents spotted the illegal cargo with a portable X-ray
machine.

Customs agents were interviewing the Linaki's crew, but no
one was immediately charged, Mann said.
