Internal Security Forces at Beirut port thwarted on Thursday an attempt to smuggle millions of captagon pills to Dubai.

The pills were hidden among corn kernels in three containers that were stored at warehouse number six at the port, it added.

They were prepared to be shipped abroad and seized at the very last minute before being taken on board a ship heading towards the Arab Gulf.

NNA revealed that seven similar containers had already been shipped to the same destination and contacts will be made with the concerned Arab country in order to arrest those connected to the case.

Later on Thursday, the Lebanese Customs Administration announced that "more than 12 million pills" were seized, revealing that Dubai was the shipment's destination.

so lame ft.

if you were a decent person you would not try to defend these drug traffickers or you would not try to divert the conversation from the obvious.

these are criminals who were covered by your so called resistance, and now that the cover is finally removed, they are getting caught.

FT, I won't be surprised if Oqab is not improving on the milk trade to Syria. Maskin Oqab, such a peaceful man, milk never killed anybody they said.

Captagon was once used legally as a prescription drug, then later it got banned. Why is it so popular these days, especially with Middle Eastern countries???
