NEW YORK (LTD Prosecutors handling the "Pizza Connection" heroin smuggling case beefed up security at their offices following reports that Sicilian Mafia hit squads have been dispatched to the United States. U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani refused to comment on the hit - Coast Guard rescued 33 1 Aiming at Prosecutors MIAMI (UPI) - Page THE HERALD. Provo. Utah. eody for Election Production Sicilian Hit Squads worth of heroin into the United States over the past five years. The drug allegedly was distributed through a network of pizza parlors in small Midwestern towns. Giuliani refused to comment on reports that several Sicilian suspects had been arrested trying to enter the United States from the Canadian border. Asked if the unconfirmed reports of hit squads made him nervous, Giuliani replied: "I don't feel jittery at all." He declined to specify what extra precautions had been made, but it was clear that more guards had been posted at doorways. In addition, one entrance to the U.S. Attorney's Office was restricted to employees. Gaetano Badalamenti, the main defendant in the case, is a reputed leader of the Sicilian Mafia and allegedly the main heroin supplier to the United States. Badalamenti, one of the most wanted fugitives in Italy, was arrested in Spain in April. He is awaiting extradition to face the U.S. charges. In Italy, attempts to crack down on the Sicilian Mafia have resulted in the assassination of Italian judges, prosecutors and investigators. Giuliani also led an investigation that resulted in the arrest last week of the entire leadership of New York's Colombo crime family and the arrest Wednesday of Aniello "O'Neill" Dellacroce, head of the powerful Gambino crime family. im t.

Coast Guard jet out of Miami spotted the craft Thursday afternoon, grounded about 120 miles southeast of Andros Island, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Bob Baeten. Someone aboard was waving a red distress flag. "I think that's a new record," Baeten .said of the 180 people found aboard when the Coast Guard cutter Decisive arrived early Friday and took the occupants aboard. "It's the way a lot of them leave the country, but there's not usually that many." The refugees were held for Bahamian authorities, who dispatched a vessel to pick them up and planned to jail them in the Bahamas, Baeten said. It was not clear how long the sailboat was grounded before it was spotted, but a Coast Guard transport plane dropped food, water and medical supplies to the refugees while they waited for the cutter to arrive.
