DUBAI — Customs inspectors at the Dubai International Aiport have foiled an attempt by a man to smuggle into the country one kilogram of heroin concealed in his body, according to a statement issued yesterday.
The man, who had arrived from Pakistan’s port city of Karachi, aroused the suspicion of Customs officers when he was seen moving around nervously. An X-ray revealed presence of some suspicious material in his intestine.
After feigning ignorance initially, the suspect confessed that he had heroin capsules concealed in his body. Later, 100 capsules of heroin, each weighing 10 grams, were retrieved from his body.
