Human fetuses hidden in statues

KATC | October 3, 2005

Three human fetuses hidden in statues bound for the US could have been meant for use in satanic rituals.

The discovery was made by officers searching for contraband at Bogota Airport in Colombia.

The tiny corpses — alongside crucifixes and medals — were wrapped in plastic inside Christian icons, which were smashed open.

Colombian police chief Jord Alirio Varon believes they could have been intended for use in sickening rituals.

Officials are trying to find out who sent the packages, which came from Barranquilla in Colombia and were destined for Miami, Florida.
