Saudi police seize 140 kilos of hashish
2008-03-08
RIYADH - Saudi police have foiled an attempt to smuggle 140 kilograms (308 pounds) of hashish from neighbouring Yemen, SPA state news agency reported on Friday. A border patrol in the southwestern region of Najran clashed on Thursday with a group of smugglers after spotting them trying to infiltrate into the kingdom through rough terrain, SPA said.

The smugglers who were trying to cross the borders on foot fired at the patrol before they retreated, leaving behind the narcotics and a number of machine-guns and ammunition, it added.

In October, Saudi authorities announced foiling an attempt to smuggle 1,050 kilograms (2,300 pounds) of hashish through the same area, along the borders with impoverished Yemen.

Obviously the Saudi cops are too important to pay for it like everybody else....

#3  Isn't Hashish an old-timey, traditional sand flea treat from back in the days of Mo himself? Odd they should put the death penalty on importing hash.
