An incinerator, where one of Africa’s biggest hauls of narcotics is being burnt in Kenya, has exploded, delaying the process, police say….The BBC’s Karen Allen in Nairobi says the drugs are being destroyed to dispel fears they could be sold.
An official said the high temperatures reached by the bags of cocaine led the incinerator to malfunction. “The exercise is going on smoothly despite” the blast, said director of public prosecutions Keriako Tobiko.
The burning of more than 950 sachets of cocaine is being witnessed by foreign journalists, diplomats, members of the judiciary and suspects arrested for trafficking the shipments. Some 200 policemen are also there to ensure security.
Officials say the witnesses will be not affected by the smoke and fumes coming from the incinerators.
What did you say, man?
And don’t forget that usually ppl are standing where the wind pushes smoke from the incinerator towards them.
How convienent.
That is insane!! How can they not be affected by cocaine smoke!!!

Exactly how much is airfare to Kenya?
Reminds me of years ago. The police had a massive amount of marijuana they were burning in a city garbage incinerator. The news reports mentioned the gulls were flying in circles above the smoke stack.
