Security Forces Thwart Attempt to Smuggle 3.5 Tons of Cannabis to Libya
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةSecurity forces succeeded in thwarting an attempt to smuggle 3.5 tons of cannabis from Lebanon to Libya, the anti-drug bureau announced in a statement on Monday.
The drugs were transported from Lebanon to a ship, called Mare Ta Queen, which was docked outside of Lebanon's regional waters.
It then sailed to Libya's Tobruk port near the border with Egypt where it was halted by Egyptian authorities near the coast of Damietta.
The ship's entire cargo was seized and all those on board were arrested.
Investigations are underway to arrest the remaining members of the drug gang in Lebanon.
In a separate development, two Venezuelan nationals were arrested at Turkey's Istanbul airport for the possession of four kilograms of cocaine paste.
They were suspected of traveling to Lebanon.
They had arrived in Turkey from Brazil via Italy.

Why not we help the economy a little bit , we have a treasure that all the arabs want to stop it so we stay a weak country .Why USA now is legalizing cannabis?????
Hope we stop being retard and think forward for our country to stand on its legs .or we always want to be slaves for the arabs
I agree with Elie. In a country with economic turmoil, why not benefit from the cannabis industry?
Most people here have a mentality that Cannabis/Marijuana = hard drugs = Cocaine, Heroine, etc. The truth is that it has virtually nothing in common with them. Hard drugs should NEVER be legalized, but with positive research emerging by the day, Legalizing, if not decriminalizing it at least, would do our country more good than harm.
