SAUDI POLICE SEIZE 40 KG OF DRUGS

RIYADH - Saudi Arabian police have nabbed a gang of smugglers as
they tried to bring 40 kilograms of hashish across the southern Saudi
border with Yemen.

Saudi daily Okaz said the smugglers were spotted by heat sensors
spread along the border and arrested them after a long chase in the
province of Najran.

"It is a great achievement of the security forces in the region," said
Najran's governor, Prince Mishaal bin Saud.

"The efforts of the border guards resulted in preventing our youth
from having access to those poisons," he added.
