Yes, that was my take from the article too -- they intercepted the package

better place to start, and the article didn't give me the impression that
had happened; more like

step 1) package!
step 2) raid!
step 3) Drug War Victory
step 4) Oops  bye

Of course there *could* be more info that was not reported, that could
"put this in context" better, but I still think they went to the smashing
and shooting approach way too quickly
