Indonesians held in HK

HONG KONG (AFP): Two Indonesian men were arrested at the airport in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou for trying to smuggle more than 5,500 grams (192.5 ounces) of the designer drug "ice," a news report said Saturday.

One of the two Indonesian men failed to pass security check at Baiyun airport on Thursday and was later found to have 10 bags of the drugs strapped to his body, the Ming Pao daily said.

The man's companion who earlier escaped detection was taken off his flight to Jakarta and was also found to have similar drugs plastered on his body, the report said.
