Ministry Undersecretary Lt Gen Sulaiman Al-Fahd supervised the effort to foil the major attempt to bring 10 million Captagon pills worth KD 25 million into the country, the statement added. The pills were professional- ly hidden in a container coming from Turkey. The back-to-back blows by the Drugs Control General Department (DCGD) against drug traffickers offer evidence of the alert- ness and readiness of the security bodies to protect the country, the statement quoted Fahd as saying. DCGD Director General Colonel Walid Al-Duraei said that the mission was accomplished in cooperation with the General Administration of Customs. He added that they were tipped off by a secret source, who said that the Captagon pills would be hidden in a container of cleaning materials coming from Turkey. A plan was drawn up, allowing the drugs to enter through Shuwaikh port. It was fol- lowed till it reached an open area in a Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh neighborhood.

One vision, one value. www.argochallenge.org On par, no barriers. © ideaargo2013 wecanucan 2 Argo Challenge is a project associated to the next America’s Cup to bring an international team of disabled sailors to the highest levels of competition. Started on initiative of Antonio Spinelli, it made its first appearance during Winter Paralympics Games of Torino 2006. This project is about challenging the common concept of “normality”, bringing it beyond the usual understanding of everyday life: it is about inclusion. The goal is to show the world that it is possible to reach great objectives even if one is disabled, and that in sport, like in life, barriers can be overcome if one is determined, passionate, professional and work in a great team. ONE strong and universal message, shared by common people, people that can go beyond the common standards.
