49 ARRESTED IN HOLLAND AND ISRAEL DRUG BUST

Police seized more than a million Ecstasy pills and arrested 49 people in
the Netherlands, Israel and other countries in a sweep carried out by
hundreds of officers, Israeli authorities said Tuesday.

The police estimate that the drug ring manufactured and distributed tens of
tons of narcotics, supplying the drugs to Western Europe, Israel and the
United States.

There were 25 arrests in Holland, eight in Israel and the remaining 16 in
other countries.
