Eastern authorities seized about 400 kg of hashish at a house in farmland southeast of Tobruk, according to a Reuters report carried by Arab News. The consignment was reportedly smuggled across the Egyptian border for sale inside Libya, valued at roughly $934,000.
Some suspects were arrested but the number was not confirmed. The detainees were reported to be Libyan and Egyptian. An anti-drugs agency officer is named as spokesperson; no suspect is named. No charge or sentence is stated.
Why it matters: This is large-scale trafficking, not a small-time case. It is included because no smaller Libya case could be found.
