VANCOUVER, March 24 /CNW/ - A joint operation between the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Federal Drug Enforcement Branch has resulted in the seizure of approximately 31 kg of opium and two arrests.

On March 11, 2011, CBSA border services officers at Vancouver Air Cargo intercepted a shipment originating in Tehran, Iran. The accompanying documentation identified the shipment as "Samovar" tea kettles. During their examination, CBSA officers detected contraband concealed inside the shipment. Their efforts resulted in the seizure of 18 kg of opium.

The RCMP Federal Drug Enforcement Branch assisted the CBSA to advance the investigation. As a result of information sharing and collaborative efforts, a 41-year-old Vancouver man and a 32-year-old Burnaby man were arrested, both at the residence of the Burnaby man.

Examination of the Vancouver man's vehicle revealed an additional 13 kg of opium, which was seized by RCMP federal drug

Terrorist regime smuggles drugs to Canda

It gets worse and worse. The Terror regime starts off with trafficing women as prostitutes to Arab states of the Persian Gulf. Then shipments of weapons are foudn in Nigeria, Senegal, Turkey and Mauritius. Now drugs. It gets dirtier and dirtier as the regime steeps to the ultimate low. It hangs alleged drug traffickers and then exports them to Canada.

throw them in jail

Definitely the two suckers who got busted here will end up in jail. I don't want to defend the terrorist regime of Iran, but there is no evidence of this shipment having something to do with them. It just says it originated from there but could be just drug dealers shipping their stuff to Canada. I guess there are a lot of taryakis in Vancouver area :)
