Kuwait seizes drugs smuggled inside ducks, pigeons

An Arab expatriate was arrested for attempting to smuggle into Kuwait a cocktail of drugs that included hashish, opium, Bango - a type of marijuana  and narcotic tablets. According to the airport customs, the expatriate had hidden one kilo of hashish, two opium joints and 1,000 Tramadol tablets inside frozen ducks and pigeons he brought from home.
