Police shut down Canada-U.S. pot smuggling ring (http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2007/07/10/4328471-ap.html)

DETROIT (AP) - U.S. and Canadian authorities said Tuesday they have shut down a drug-smuggling operation responsible for transporting large volumes of highly potent, Canadian-grown marijuana.
Detroit-based U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy said four Michigan men have been charged in a criminal complaint and six other men from the state have been arrested. All are suspected of smuggling 168 kilograms of marijuana known as "BC Bud" into the United States.
Ahmad Abboud, 29, Tony Davis, 27, and Jonathan Yaldo, 26, all of Sterling Heights, were arrested June 28 and are named in separate complaints, along with Yahab Abboud, 27, of Rochester Hills.
Ahmad Abboud is charged in the complaint with conspiracy to import marijuana. The other three suspects are charged with marijuana possession with the intent to distribute.
All four men are free on bond, pending a July 17 preliminary hearing.
