BANGKOK, Aug 10 – An Iranian man on Wednesday was detained at Thailand’s main international airport for smuggling 3.5 kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine, also known as 'ice,' worth Bt12.2 million (about US$420,000), Customs Department Director-General Prasong Poontaneat told a news briefing.

Mohammadreza Mohammadi, 26, was detained Wednesday morning at Suvarnabhumi Airport with the drug ‘ice’, crystal meth, hidden in a specially-made compartment in his baggage.

The arrest followed a tip-off that a suspect would smuggle the illegal drug into the kingdom.

The detainee told Thai officials that he flew from Iraq’s Erbil via the United Arab Emirates’s Abu Dhabi to Thailand by Etihad Airways. He was hired for $5,000 to smuggle the drug, intending to deliver it to drug dealers in Thailand.

Oh, dear!

If it wasn't bad enough for Iranians to be synonymous with terrorism it is now a byword for drug dealers. The culrit: The Terrorist Regime occupying the seat of power in Iran. Certainly, every country has crime and social porblems to deal with but the surge in drug use has been a result of disenfranchisement, poor economic and job prospects, cenesorship and lack of social freedoms driving many Iranians to leave the country or find other methods to make a living. 

The official line from the IR in regards to the numerous executions each year is that all those hanged are drug users or rapists but that is a sorry reflection of society in Iran.
