Airport security thwarted on Friday an attempt to smuggle a large quantity of Captagon pills at the Rafik Hariri International Airport, the state-run National News Agency reported.
"The 23 kg of pills were in the possession of S. A., a Kuwaiti national born in 1981,” the NNA detailed.
The detained suspect confessed in the interrogation that he planned to transfer the 17,000 seized pills to an Arab country via Beirut, the same source elaborated.
"The competent court referred the suspect along with the seized pills to the Internal Security Forces Anti-Drug Bureau for further investigation.”
