A Saudi prince has been detained at Beirut airport in
Lebanon after two tons of an amphetamine drug popular with Syrian rebels was
found on a private jet.
Prince Abdel Mohsen Bin Walid Bin Abdulaziz and four other
men were held after what was described as the biggest ever drugs bust at the
city’s main Rafik Hariri International Airport.
They were allegedly "attempting to smuggle about two
tons of Captagon pills and some cocaine", a security source was quoted as
saying. The drugs were stuffed into 40 suitcases, according to reports.
It has been a bad few weeks for the Saudi royal family’s
minor princes. Prince Majed bin Abdullah was arrested last month in Los Angeles
for allegedly trying to force a woman to perform oral sex, though charges were
dropped last week.
