Beirut airport customs seize $1.5 million worth of cocaine from passenger

Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport customs on Wednesday seized 10 kilograms of cocaine hidden “creatively” inside the luggage of a Lebanese passenger arriving from Addis Ababa.

The drugs, valued at around $1.5 million, were confiscated, and the woman identified as “M.B.” was detained for questioning. She and the seized narcotics were later handed over to the Anti-Narcotics Bureau on the orders of the public prosecutor.
