\ « Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100600002-2 Feedback on JT4080 (26 JUL 90): OOF: (261043 JUL 90) The target is currently located at 23 27 N 89 22 W. The vessel is concerned with evading detection. It is transporting narcotics, which are located in one of two locations on board. The crux/key to locating the contraband is an area where metal shavings/filings occur. Sense that a white and dense material has been injected into the center mast and that this mast is considered expedable. It is to be cut in halt lengthwise. If this is the location of the contraband, metal shavings are found around the deck base collar of the mast. The second area on the vessel is in the rear of the vessel near the engine. A section of the port side wall of this area has been packed with solid and dense heavy nylon bags in between the strutts or ribs. The section containing these packages is very solid. If this is the location of the contraband, metal shavings will be found at the base of this specific wall section. An attempt had been made to clean up and remove all of the metal shavings. However, reminents have worked themselves out in one of the two locations on board. Sense that a primary person (a man) on board is not aware of what the vessel is actually carrying. A [nice] man in/from Harrisburg, PA is associated with this target in some way. SG1A O0OB: (261036 JUL 90) The S/v/ P| detected at approximate coordinates 2000N/1815W, is involved in smuggling operations of both drugs and contraband classified government (not believed to be U.S. government) documents and manuals. The drugs appear to be located in two large wooden kegs and one metal trash can which are hanging by ropes over the railings. The government documents are located in one of several compartments located under Carpeting on the interior flooring. There are indications that, although the owner of the ship will make a good profit off the operation, it will not be a remarkably large profit, and that the main reason this ship is involved is because the owner is being blackmailed into participation. SG1A 00G: We rcscreacar is located at 26 N - 86 W in the Gulf of Mexico. It is heading toward 29 N - 85 W and carrying drugs in the wall of the hull (second level). The drugs are located in four crates with plastic inside. There are towels and seaweed in this area. The main man, who is on the vessel, is doing this for himself. The drugs will eventually end up in California. 90 SG1A OOD: 261105L Jul The \ is located at 11 50’N 82 10’W. It is not carrying drugs at this time but it has carried drugs in the past, (possibly just dropped some off). This vessel seems to be a carrier or transporter that moves drugs from one vessel to another. Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100600002-2
