The statement said the raid was carried out in cooperation with U.S. and Saudi authorities. No arrests were announced. A total 1.25 tons of processed cannabis were confiscated.
Greek police said the drugs were loaded in the Lebanese capital of Beirut and were destined for the Libyan port of Misrata.
