Airport police thwarted at dawn an attempt to smuggle two kilograms of narcotics through the Rafik Hariri International Airport, the state-run National News Agency said on Monday.
The assailant, a Brazilian national, tried to smuggle the drugs to Lebanon from Brazil through Ethiopia, NNA added.
He wrapped them in vacuum plastic bags and hid them in two children handbags.
Lebanese authorities at the airport interrogated the smuggler who was later referred to the central anti-narcotics office.
