27-kg heroin seized from aircraft at Karachi airport

Karachi, May 26 (ANI): The Pakistani authorities seized 27 kilograms of fine quality heroin from a passenger aircraft at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi. Chief Collector of Customs, Zahid Khokhar, said the heroin was concealed in the cavities located on the left of the kitchen of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane. He said the recovery was the result of a credible tip off. Pakistan is a major conduit for drugs flowing out of its western neighbour, Afghanistan, which is the world’s largest producer of heroin and a major hashish producer. Production has soared to near record levels in Afghanistan since the overthrow of the Taliban late in 2001.
