'Jihadist Drug' from Lebanon Seized for First Time in France
[AnNahar] French customs officials said Tuesday that they had intercepted 135 kilograms (300 pounds) of Captagon, dubbed the "jihadists' drug", at Gay Paree' Charles de Gaulle airport this year, a first for La Belle France.Captagon, a type of amphetamine, is one of the most commonly used drugs among fighters in the Syrian war. "It is the first time that this drug has been seized in La Belle France," the customs agency said in a statement. Customs officials at Charles de Gaulle discovered 350,000 Captagon pills weighing 70 kilograms on January 4 hidden among industrial molds exported from Leb and apparently heading for the Czech Republic. An investigation was launched by German and Czech authorities "and it revealed that the real intended destination was Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , by passing through ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ", the agency said. Another 67 kilograms of the drug were found at the airport in February, hidden in steel molds. Captagon is classified by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime as an "amphetamine-type stimulant" and usually blends amphetamines, caffeine and other substances. Fighters who have taken the drug say it helps them to stay up for days and numbs the senses, allowing them to kill with abandon. Posted by: trailing wife 2017-05-31 |
