Saudi law enforcers seized a large quantity of drugs hidden inside onions in a shipment coming from another country, a newspaper reported on Thursday. A YouTube film published by Sada daily showed a customs official using a knife to cut an onion and reveal a piece of drug stuffed inside. The paper did not mention where in Saudi Arabia the shipment was busted. Hundreds of convicted drug smugglers have been executed in Saudi Arabia, one of the most conservative Islamic nations. – Emirates247
