Kuwait seizes drugs smuggled inside ducks, pigeons

An Arab expatriate was arrested for attempting to smuggle into Kuwait a cocktail of drugs that included hashish, opium, Bango - a type of marijuana  and narcotic tablets. According to the airport customs, the expatriate had hidden one kilo of hashish, two opium joints and 1,000 Tramadol tablets inside frozen ducks and pigeons he brought from home. The smuggler was arrested after officers noted that he behaved suspiciously as he was checking out of the airport, prompting them to search his luggage thoroughly, local Arabic daily Al Rai reported on Tuesday. The man reportedly worked in a restaurant. "Our teams have been trained according to the highest standards to foil attempts to smuggle drugs into the country as we seek to keep it clean of their poisons," Sulaiman Al Fahad, the customs supervisor, told the daily.
