from my security report:
TAJIKISTAN: On Monday, Tajik customs officers apprehended a Health Ministry official when she attempted to smuggle 12 pounds of heroin through the Dushanbe Airport. The suspect hid the drugs inside lemons. Customs officers became suspicious of the woman’s lack of luggage. Since the beginning of 2003, Tajik customs officers have arrested eight drug couriers carrying more than 20 pounds of heroin. In 2002, airport customs officers seized only five pounds of drugs.
