Morales UNASUR propose new controls to the U.S. air cargo

LA PAZ, 18 Feb. The president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, propose to the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) creation of mechanisms for control of cargo arriving by air from United States. In this way responds to the controversy sparked by an American military plane landed in Argentina with weapons and narcotics, a "material declared to the Argentine authorities.

"We will ask how to how to have absolute control of all this class of aircraft from the U.S., bringing drugs or weapons. It is very unfortunate," said the president. In his opinion, "South America can not be the carpet of America." Morales also believes that Washington's response to his dispute with Buenos Aires has been superb and shows his lack of respect for international law, reports TeleSur.

"All these facts show that the United States negotiates with the drug illegally, but do not know for what purpose," he added. The United States argues that drugs and carried weapons were intended to give a preparation course for the Police of Argentina, and had done something in 2009. Argentina customs agency clarifies that these items do not come covered in the list of materials that the United States offered to the completion of the course.

On the other hand, the military aboard the aircraft refused to show the material, which included computer storage USB devices, communication equipment and apparatus encrypted.
