| More than one tonne of cocaine has been intercepted by customs authorities in Senegal, the biggest cocaine haul ever via land route in the country. | |
| The 1,137kg (2,506 pounds) of cocaine was intercepted from a truck in the eastern town of Kidira, which is near the border with Mali. | |
| The drugs had been concealed in packets and placed in bags at the bottom of the truck, which had arrived from a neighbouring country that authorities failed to name. | |
| They said the consignment was valued at 90 billion CFA francs ($146m; £117m). | |
| Large drug hauls have become more common in Senegal. | |
| Last November, the navy seized three tonnes of cocaine from a ship off the country's coast, marking one of the navy's largest drug hauls. | |
| The region is a transit point for Latin American cartels trafficking drugs to Europe and elsewhere. | |
