TEHRAN, Iran - Question: How do you turn a goat into a mule? Answer: Make it swallow several kilos of narcotics.
Police in southeastern Iran on Sunday found 84 pounds of opium hidden in the stomach of nine sheep and goats, Iran's official IRNA news agency said.
The animals had apparently been forced to swallow the narcotics by drug traffickers bringing the product over from neighboring Afghanistan en route to western Europe.
Drug smugglers who swallow packets of cocaine or heroin in an attempt to avoid detection are often referred to as drug "mules". |
