Yemen seizes ten million drugs capsules in 8 months

SANA'A, Aug. 31 (Saba)- Security sources said on Sunday that
Interior Ministry seized about 1400000 capsules of drugs since the
beginning of 2008.

The sources added that the latest operation of capturing drugs was
done in the Aden harbor, where about 3500000 capsules of drugs were
found inside water heaters imported from a neighbor country.

The source pointed out that investigations are underway with the
smugglers.

Last week, the security forces in Hodeidah province held a Syrian
citizen charged with smuggling 1.212 million captagon pills into the
country.

The seizure comes after the security forces seized a large amount of
captagon pills concealed in water heaters shipped in a container and
after they found large quantities of hashish on two cars.
