Tourist lured into smuggling meth

I think there should be a strategic view on countries we partner with — Nikki Haley, on Pakistan harbouring terrorists

Bangkok: An Iranian man has been arrested after using travel freebies to lure an unsuspecting Japanese tourist into smuggling a bag of clothes laced with crystal meth, Thai police said on Monday. The tourist found the deal on a travel website that offered free getaways to Thailand, Shanghai and Frankfurt. But after arriving in Thailand last week, he was handed “suspicious” luggage for his next trip to Shanghai, Itthipol Itthisarnronnachai, deputy chief of immigration department, said. “Inside the bag, he found clothes that felt more solid than usual.” Police said the clothes had been coated with crystal methamphetamine -- known as ice.
