RAWALPINDI, April 29: The Anti-Narcotics Force on Friday foiled an attempt to smuggle 4kg heroin to Spain and arrested one person at Islamabad airport. ANF Rawalpindi director Col Wasif Sajjad said a passenger, identified as Karim Khan, was spotted acting suspiciously during the check-in for Frankfurt-bound flight PK-763.

Mr Karim Khan was taken into custody and during baggage search, the ANF staff recovered heroin skillfully concealed in the bottom and cavities of the suitcase. —Staff Reporter
