| Jordan makes biggest bust of ‘ISIS drug’ in years on border with Saudi Arabia |

| [IsraelTimes] Authorities in the Hashemite Kingdom find millions of captagon pills hidden in construction vehicles at the end of a weeks-long operation Jordan has foiled two plots to smuggle millions of captagon pills through a border post near Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat Frational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start..., in the biggest seizure in years of drugs smuggled by Iran-linked networks operating in southern Syria to lucrative Gulf markets. |
