| DUBAI: Dubai customs foiled an attempt to smuggle rough diamonds worth 4 million dirhams through Terminal 1 of the Dubai International Airport. Customs inspectors at the Terminal 1 Inspection Section got suspicious of a woman passenger of African nationality who arrived at the inspection point. The inspectors checked the woman using the intestines detector machine and discovered two bags of cloth wrapped around her body as well as two sealed bags containing rough diamonds. The woman was trying to smuggle the diamonds into the country. Customs authorities seized the diamonds. The passenger was handed over to the relevant security agencies for interrogation and legal action. |

| #3 An attempt at Duty Free....Blood diamonds from Angola possibly? Why do I see fists pounding tables at the Dubai Diamond Exchange (DDE) and in Antwerp? They DDE only did $ 2.24 billion in rough diamonds during the first half of 2007. |
