RAWALPINDI: The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) claimed on Thursday to have foiled a bid to smuggle drugs out of the country by nabbing two suspected smugglers at the Islamabad airport, ARY News reported.

ANF officials said one kilogram of heroin amounting to millions of rupees was seized from the possession of the arrested smugglers. They were to board a Doha-bound flight (QR-633).

The accused allegedly had links with an international network of drug suppliers, claimed the officials.

It is pertinent to mention here that the ANF had earlier this week claimed to have seized 1995.475 kilograms drugs amounting to 1.684 billion rupees throughout the country.

According to a press release, the ANF also arrested five culprits and impounded three vehicles while conducting seven counter-narcotic strikes on different places. The ANF foiled a bid of smuggling drug abroad on January 22.

Officials of the ANF in a raid at the Islamabad airport arrested a man and captured 798 grams of ice heroin worth millions of rupees, from his possession, officials said.

The law enforcement agency officials captured drug, which was hidden in the shoes of accused Rashid Khan, who was going Dubai by flight number AK 615, officials said.
