Marihuana confiscated in Havana provincial town

HAVANA, Cuba, February 14 (José Antonio Fornaris, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org) - Police confiscated marihuana from two modestly-sized plantings in the same week in the municipality of San José de las Lajas, Havana province.

The plantings, one consisting of 99 plants, and the other of 16, were in government lands, and were surrounded by overgrown vegetation.

Police detained as suspects one 70-year-old man and his three sons. In his home they found 191 seeds and several bags containing dry marihuana leaves.

The 70-year-old, whose name has not been given, died a few days after his arrest after suffering what was listed as a heart attack.

A man whose name was given as Abel García was found murdered in the same area January 26. Local residents speculate the two incidents are related.
