Three Baptist ministers arrested in...

...huge heroin sting... er... wait a minute...
Three men from the Toronto-area have been arrested in what the RCMP call one of the largest heroin seizures in Canada. More than 100 kilograms of high-grade heroin and about $650,000 in cash were seized last weekend during several searches at Toronto-area addresses.

The RCMP says it believes the heroin originated in Afghanistan and was destined for a Toronto address.

Facing a slew of drug charges are two brothers from Brampton, Ont., Ali Murtaza, 35, and Nazma Murtaza, 34, and a Toronto man, Al Saadat, 50.
