Drug Smuggling Foiled at Beirut Airport
The customs at Rafik Hariri International Airport thwarted an attempt to smuggle 14 kilograms of cocaine to Lebanon, the state-run National News Agency reported on Tuesday.
NNA said that customs agents found the drugs with a 22-year-old Brazilian passenger who arrived to Beirut at dawn via Abu Dhabi.
The cocaine was stashed in eight big shampoo bottles placed in his suitcase with his personal belongings, the agency said.
The suspect was arrested and referred to the Central Anti-Drug office in Beirut for further investigation, it added.

Who is ensuring the security? Ebola has put its hands on everything thus reducing the effectiveness of the official authorities.
The passenger has now been identified as Mahdi Hamdar, a shia resident of Beirut southern suburbs. The ISF intelligence branch identified him as a member of the iranian terrorist sectarian militia foreign operations unit. Hezbollah is an internationally recognized terror group with expertise in forging passports, explosive setups, and laundering money.
