Drug Smugglers 'Carpeted' in Kuwait
 Kuwaiti authorities have nabbed a drug smuggling operation which aimed to sneak one ton of drugs into Kuwait and other Gulf countries by hiding them inside carpets, a police official said yesterday.
| Whoa! Dewd! A friggin' ton? |
"It was the biggest and most bizarre seizure (of drugs) in the Middle East," Col. Ahmad Al-Abdullah Al-Sabah was quoted as saying by the KUNA news agency. He did not say what kind of drugs were involved or where they came from, but said they were "placed inside small plastic tubes in a big carpet" and were valued at "millions of (Kuwaiti) dinars." A security source told AFP the consignment was seized at Kuwait airport late Saturday.
