UAE, Oman thwart major drug gang

Dubai: UAE authorities in cooperation with their Omani counterparts have thwarted an international gang's attempt to smuggle 26kg of heroin.
Major General Abdul Jaleel Mahdi, Director of Dubai Police's Anti-narcotics Department, said that Dubai Police teams liaised with anti-narcotics teams from the Ministry of Interior and police forces of Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah to foil the smuggling attempt.
"We dealt a severe blow to the gang, which was trying to smuggle the drugs through Oman after we got a tip off," Mahdi said.
The gang was trying to smuggle the drugs from an Asian country to Oman's Dibba Bea coast and then to the UAE to be handed over to contacts.
