A Chinese man has been arrested when he arrived in Cambodia carrying more than 4 kilograms of rhinoceros horn in his luggage, the Cambodia Daily reported today, citing an official.


The man was traveling from Namibia but arrived at Phnom Penh International Airport on Sunday afternoon on a Qatar Airlines flight that originated in Doha, said Leang Hay, chief of customs at the airport. "We decided to check the target after we learned what country he'd been traveling from," he was quoted as saying by the newspaper. The seizure - eight pieces of horn weighing 4.38 kg -was the fifth major seizure of rhino horn at a Cambodian airport since 2012, he said.-Xinhua
