Two Pakistanis arrested with 1.5 kg of heroin

BANGKOK, Oct 22 -- Thai customs officers detained two Pakistani nationals smuggling 1.5 kg of heroin, worth Bt4.6 million (US$150,000) at Suvarnabhumi Airport, according to Thailand's Customs Department.

Iqbal Shaheen and Khan Mohammed Irfan were detained Thursday at the arrival terminal of Thailand's main international airport with heroin in their stomachs, Prasong Poontaneat, Customs's Director-General, said Friday.

The arrest was made when customs officers noticed that the two men behaved erratically and asked them to pass through an X-ray scanner where unidentified objects were detected in their stomachs.

They were then ordered to a toilet to defecate and officers found 100 packages of heroin in the two men's stomachs, at a combined weight of 1.5 kg, valued at about $150,000. The initial investigation found that the detained drug traffickers flew from the Pakistani capital of Islamabad to the kingdom by Thai Airways International

The detainees earlier planned to deliver the drug to a Thai woman customer in Pratunam and she hoped to sell the heroin to Thai partygoers and tourists.

The two men had were alleged to have smuggled the drug into Thailand six times and were paid Bt50,000 [$1,60] each time.

Good hope they get many years in the slammer/

These 3 (2 pakistani + 1 thai dealer) are not the one time amateur offenders so there is no need to feel sorry for them.

Dead sentenced is justified for this type of crimes.

Conduct a fair trial and if found guilty execute the sentence by giving them the lucky shot.

What a dreadful party it must be with a bunch of smackheads sat watching TV monging out.

Ive have sympathy for people caught with ecstasy, marijuana and such like, but Heroine does kill and genuinely ruins lives, so some you win some you lose for these guys.

<deleted>'s wrong with the reports about serious crime?

They'll probably die in jail because of $ 1.80?????? EACH TIME. Actually I haven't met too many of them on parties. They prefer to hide somewhere like Zombies.

Six times $ 1,80 would be 10,80 for six trips? Insane. Is it possible that they meant 1,600 bucks? :jap:

[nong38]

I expect they were travelling salesmen from Taliban .com , best lock em and dont mention cricket.

Guess they had to pay their own ticked with their $ 1,60 each time......:jap:

Who would admit that they had done this 6 times previously?

Fools they are, you don't eat it you hoop it.

Did someone admit it?

Stamps in their passport, and maybe the customs used their power of persuasion.

[morphious]

Great another drugs bust on true morons

[asiawatcher]

Why would anyone bring a book to a library! I mean - Heroin to Thailand when just north they manufacture it? There is no accounting for total stupidity - ever. Enjoy the stay rag tops -

[taff33]

Are they classed by the Thai. Gov. as tourist and added to their 'numbers'??

[mightyharriss]

I find it funny that no matter what the drug the quantity is always 2.5 kg

[Renbe]

As long as there is demand, there will be supply. History shows over and over again that there are always poor suckers willing to risk their lives (literally) to smuggle illegal substances.

I find it even more funny that this time, according to the article, it is 1.5 kg ;-)

Alcohol kills more people per hour than heroine does so per year... not to mention the massacre caused by nicotine

what a comment....how often do you "hit up"? you must be high when you wrote that...seriously HEROIN is CANCER....alcohol and tobacco love them or hate them are LEGAL substances, HAMMER etc etc etc is not!!

They don't really manufacture it in the North of Thailand any more, mostly made in Burma.

The white stuff, also called # four is much more expensive than the brown Pakistani shit.

Most junkies or sniffers are used to this brown shit and especially at tourist destinations like Ko Panghan people are paying a lot

of money to get rid of the monkey on their shoulders, or die overdosed. :jap:

I bet alcohol is responsible for creating more babies then its kills adults .... but seriously round my way a significant amount of the kids i went to school with got into heroine 10-15 years ago, as in the outgoing jack the lad types ... several are now dead and 100% of the others have completely lost their personality and arent quite with it.

Whilst im for legalising of many drugs i cant quite see how crack or heroine could possibly be legalised, though it seems the death sentence isnt even enough to deter people so i dont know what the answer is.

[retku]

.. quantity is always 2.5 kg

I find it even more funny ... it is 1.5 kg ;-)

...and how much the men in brown ´tax´...

:whistling:..and whereś the thailady which promised to sell the ´package´

Yes and for years you could just go thru Don Muang, leaving Thailand with your suitcases loaded, while the DEA worked in the airport.
