http://www.inthesetimes.com/web2519/hughes2519.html British chemical company ICI has pulled out of Plan Colombia's controversial fumigation campaign. The firm was supplying ingredients for toxic chemicals used in the U.S.-funded aerial spraying of coca-growing regions, but abandoned the scheme amid health concerns. Local hospitals in the Putumayo region, where the coca fumigation is taking place, have reported increases in skin rashes, diarrhea and stomach aches (see "Death Falls from the Sky," April 30). <snip> Re: Narco News, http://www.inthesetimes.com/web2519/winters2519.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/narconews Michael Pugliese
