BANGKOK, June 21 (TNA) – Thai customs officials on Monday arrested two Pakistani nationals for smuggling 1.4 kilogrammes of heroin into the kingdom.

Ahmed Sted Asad, 46 and Iqeal Muhammad Abid, 44 were detained at Suvarnabhumi Airport, while waiting for a flight transfer to Thailand’s Andaman island resort of Phuket.

Thai authorities had received information that persons from Pakistan would attempt to smuggle narcotics from Karachi into Thailand, so they conducted body searches on the two suspects.

X-ray detectors indicated suspicious objects in their stomachs, so they were given laxatives.
