Lebanon’s Internal Security Forces just caught two Nigerian men in Kesrouan who were part of a major cocaine smuggling operation. The drugs came all the way from Nigeria, through Ethiopia, and into Lebanon.

The men had swallowed 156 capsules of pure cocaine (about 3.4 kg), planning to get them out later and hand them to a local dealer.
