SANTIAGO, Chile - Police say two suitcases carried by a 26-year-old woman who was about to fly from Chile to Spain were made of cocaine.

Detective Leandro Morales at the Santiago airport said yesterday that the drug "was not hidden in the luggage. This time the suitcases were the drug."

Morales said the suitcases were made of a substance combining cocaine with resin and glass fiber and a "chemical process" could be used to separate out the drug. *
