SMUGGLER PASSES 86 PACKETS OF HEROIN

IT took a couple of days, but a 23-year-old Tanzanian proved an informant right when he passed 800g of heroin in 86 packets while in police custody. The man was arrested at Dar es Salaam airport on a flight from Bombay, and eventually passed 86 packets of the drug which he had swallowed before boarding the Air India plane. – AFP
