A drug known as "shabo" — a slang term for methamphetamine used in Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia — is the latest contraband to be seized by Qatar Customs in yet another foiled attempt to smuggle narcotic substances into the country.
The General Authority of Customs on Monday said its Postal Consignment Department of the Air Cargo and Private Airports wing seized 1.017 kilograms of “shabo” stashed inside a autoparts shipment containing oil filters.
The bust is the latest in a string of smuggling attempts that have been thwarted by customs authorities in Qatar.
