Delta employees cited in drug ring

Seven Delta Air Lines employees have been named in a New York drug ring. The FBI says the ring sought to smuggle drugs through John F. Kennedy Airport. Agents also intercepted the shipments of more than 100 pounds of cocaine, 55 pounds of heroin and 6.6 pounds of the drug ecstasy. Prosecutors say the Delta group concealed drugs in luggage on jets traveling from the Dominican Republic, then retrieved the bags at JFK before they could be inspected by customs agents.
