The bundles of marijuana were nestled amid boxes of curry powder, garlic and other pungent seasonings in an apparent attempt to disguise the aroma, officials said. The shipment arrived at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport aboard an Amerijet International cargo flight from Kingston, Jamaica, on Sept. 23 and was trucked to a warehouse. Customs agents secretly monitored the shipment, hoping to arrest whoever showed up to claim it, but no one appeared. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
