http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16753497<snip>
A bag containing 16kg (35.5lb) of cocaine was found at the United Nations headquarters in New York last week, police have said.
The drugs were in a bag printed with a version of the UN symbol which arrived at the organisation's mailroom, setting off a security alert.
Spokesman Paul Browne said they seemed to have been delivered by accident.
There was no name or address on the shipment sent from Mexico City through Cincinnati, he added.
