20/08/2008
Police in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) last week seized 202 kg of heroin and arrested 19 Afghan suspects in what is the biggest-ever heroin seizure in the Arab world. The police said the high-purity heroin, worth around US$ 11 million, was intercepted in the Emirate of Sharjah, where the suspects ran a fruit and vegetable business as a cover. The narcotics were smuggled in modified fuel tanks of trucks imported into the Gulf state.
