Abdulhadi noted that these substances were legal in the past. However, “now their usage has been criminalized like other drugs such as cocaine, heroin, Captagon and pethidine”. — KUNA Uzbek president Karimov dead MOSCOW: Uzbekistan’s President Islam Karimov died yes- terday, the government announced, ending more than 25 years of his iron-fisted rule in the Central Asian nation with no clear successor lined up. “Dear compatriots, it is with huge grief in our hearts that we announce to you the death of our dear president,” a state TV presenter said, reading an official statement.
