Israeli suspect in drug trade jumps bail in India

An official says an Israeli accused of being part of a drug ring involving Indian police has jumped bail and disappeared from the popular Indian tourist resort region of Goa.

State Home Minister Ravi Naik says he ordered an inquiry into the disappearance of 36-year-old Yaniv Benaim. He was arrested in March and charged with trafficking in narcotic drugs. A court freed him on bail in June, but ordered him to stay in Goa to assist the police investigation into the case. He has been missing for four weeks. (AP)
