Red-Handed: Heroin smuggling bid foiled
The heroin was concealed in hidden compartments of her suitcase, sources said in Airport police.
The ANF on Friday foiled an attempt to smuggle 9kg of heroin to United Kingdom and arrested a British woman of Pakistani origin at Benazir Bhutto International Airport.
ANF sources said that the woman, a resident of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, was taken into custody when the check-in for a Dubai-bound flight was in progress.
The heroin was concealed in hidden compartments of her suitcase, sources said in Airport police. A case was registered against the woman, who was later sent to Adiala Jail on a 14-day remand.
