Hashish to be sold for arming
J&K ultras seized: PTI

The South African police Wednesday intercepted the consignment while it was passing through the port city of Durban. They suspected the illegal transportation of the drug was meant for purchase of arms and ammunition destined for Pakistan-backed militants.

Police Superintendent Bala Naidoo said the consignment worth nearly $1 billion was found in a ship which came from Karachi.

Naidoo said the ship first transported the hashish to Port Elizabeth, from where the drugs were sent to Johannesburg. In Johannesburg, it was packed into bags in a container and sent to Durban, where it was put on a ship.
