Ex-Golden Triangle drug lord Khun Sa dies

Former drug lord Khun Sa, one of the world's most wanted men on whom the United States had put a two million-dollar bounty, died at the weekend in Myanmar, a Thai narcotics official said Tuesday.
"Khun Sa has died of various diseases and old age," the senior officer with the Thai Office of Narcotics Control told AFP.
The man who was once Asia's most notorious drugs trafficker, was thought to be 74 years old and was suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure.
