Camels laden with 1260 kgs of Hashish seized by Afghan forces in Logar

AVA- According to the local security officials, the Hashish were placed inside the bags and were loaded on five camels as the smugglers were looking to smuggle them to unknown location.

The officials further added that the camels were spotted in Aab Chakan area located in the vicinity of the provincial capital.

The commander of the 4th Brigade of the armed forces in Logar General Abdul Raziq told reporters that camels carrying the narcotics were spotted by the foreign forces as they were conducting a surveillance of the area from the security balloons.

He said the narcotics were professionally placed inside the bags so that they can not be recognized and be swiftly smuggled.

According to Gen. Raziq, the narcotics were loaded in Nangarhar province and the smugglers were apparently looking to smuggle to a southern province.

Gen. Raziq also added that the seized Hashish will be burnt in the presence of the government officials once the security forces complete their formalities.

It is yet not clear if any suspect was arrested in connection to the smuggling of the Hashish or not.
