HOST: In East LA, this would be a body shop.
In Balochistan, it’s a beach, an illegal chop shop for dhows.
HOST: But Razul’s boats don’t go the whole distance.
The reason?
Dhows in the Indian Ocean attract too much heat.
Western navies are now fighting the war on drugs.
And, due to their reputation for smuggling,
dhows are the prime target.
The 9,000 kilograms of narcotics that we’ve taken off
the ocean would provide a hit for each individual
in the United States.
The smugglers are very clever.
They learn how we operate.
We learn how they operate, and the game is always changing.
HOST: With the Navy on the prowl,
Razul offloads to other ships in international waters.
