Abu Dhabi airport customs authorities seized 7.4 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine with two passengers who tried to smuggle the drugs to Sri Lanka.

Customs men had suspected a passenger who could not hide his confusion when he was told to open his bags.

After searching the bag, they found around five kilograms of crystal methamphetamine concealed expertly in a secret part of the bag, Alittihad newspaper said.

Nearly an hour later, customs men discovered about 3.4 kilograms of the same stuff inside a bag that belonged to another passenger on the same flight. (Source: Emirates 24/7)
