"In Sri Lanka, this type of drug is new and the street  value is tens of millions of dollars."In February, police seized  heroin worth 780,000 dollars in a major blow to smugglers who are  believed to use the island as a drug trafficking route from India.<a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5i8hW_WapA5Xzdxru_CnvhRSFpPjA" target="_blank">AFP</a></blockquote>
