ISF seize Captagon pills at Beirut port

Internal Security Forces at Beirut port said on Thursday that an attempt to smuggle millions of Captagon pills to an Arab Gulf state was thwarted.

This as the state-run national News Agency reported that the pills were hidden among corn kernels in three containers stored at warehouse number six at the port.

The agency added that they were prepared to be shipped towards the Arab Gulf.

Seven similar containers had already been shipped to the same destination, adding that contacts will be made with the concerned Arab country in order to arrest the persons involved in the case.
