MOSCOW. Oct 9 (Interfax) - Investigators presumably found drugs onboard Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise boat, whose crew members are accused of attacking the Prirazlomnaya platform, Russian Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin.

"Drug substances (presumably poppy straw and morphine) have been seized during the search of the vessel. The origin of these substances and their purpose are being determined," Markin told Interfax on Wednesday.
