| (Xinhua) -- Turkish customs police seized 41 kg of heroin at Turkey's border with Bulgaria on Monday, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported. The police found the drugs stashed in a car when it tried to pass the Kapikule border gate in northwestern province of Edirne to Bulgaria, said the report. The heroin hid under the tank of the car was found by the help of a sniffer dog, it said, adding that the Bulgarian driver was arrested for questioning. Turkey is a key transit route for smuggling drugs from Asia and the Middle East to markets in western Europe. |
