DUBAI // Anti-narcotics police say they helped foil four international cocaine smuggling operations in the past three months.
Major General Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, Deputy Chief Commander for Criminal Investigation Affairs at Dubai Police, said the quantities seized amounted to 43kg. Smugglers were targeting Accra in Ghana, Abuja and Lagos in Nigeria, and Athens in Greece.
Colonel Eid Mohammed Thani Hareb, Director at the General Directorate for Drug Control, said the smugglers had all concealed drugs in their luggage using internal pockets and secret compartments. The smugglers heading to Athens had concealed 6kg in plastic containers.
Colonel Hareb said that “international cooperation was a key foundation to the Department’s work”.

Why are you, you?
From this question, a new beginning.
From this question, a new destiny.
For you are a world, and a meeting of worlds.
Our dream is to unite that which has been
separated by history.
To return the many to the one.
A great story unites us all,

And the music of the heart.
We reflect all cultures, all ways.
We are a twenty first century wonder.
Universal ideals, visions of art and truth.
Now is the turning point of cultures and hopes.
Come with questions, leave with visions.
We are the link between the past and the future.
Here, through art, new possibilities are born. And
new answers are given wings.
Why are you, you?
Because we are mirrors of each other.
Because together we create new worlds.
Together we are more powerful than we know.
We connect, we inspire, we multiply illuminations
with the unique light of art.
