Liquor smugglers held: Customs officers at the Khabara Al-Awazem border
post recently foiled attempts by two truck drivers — a Georgian and
an Armenian — to smuggle alcohol into the country, reports Arrouiah
daily. According to security sources the men arrived at the Kuwaiti
border post from Iraq and inspectors reportedly seized 50 bottles
of whisky from the Georgian and 33 from the Armenian. The bottles
were reportedly hidden in secret compartments of their trucks. The
contraband and the bootleggers have been referred to the concerned
authorities.
