Saudi prince held after seizure of two tons of amphetamines at Beirut airport - Telegraph

A Saudi prince has been detained at Beirut airport in Lebanon after two tons of an amphetamine drug popular with Syrian rebels was found on a private jet.

Prince Abdel Mohsen Bin Walid Bin Abdulaziz and four other men were held after what was described as the biggest ever drugs bust at the city’s main Rafik Hariri International Airport, according to local media and security sources.

They were allegedly "attempting to smuggle about two tons of Captagon pills and some cocaine", a security source was quoted as saying.

Captagon is a brand name for the widely used amphetamine phenethylline.

I imagine Prince Abdel had his allowance cut because oil prices are no longer extortionate and is trying to make up the shortfall.
