Ivory cache found in Nyimba, Zambia.

Nyimba Police informed me on 24 June that a few days previously, the Zambia Wildlife Investigations Unit had raided the house belonging to the former FDD member of Parliament for Nyimba, Mr Grey, and had confiscated 24 elephant tusks. A woman who had been trying to sell the tusks to a ZAWA officer, and who had recieved a downpayment of 7 million kwacha, was being held in custody. Mr Grey let it be known that another 1 ton of ivory was available for sale.
