Beirut airport security officers have thwarted an attempt to smuggle narcotic pills to Saudi Arabia, the state-run National News Agency reported on Tuesday.

They found 3.4 kilograms of narcotic pills in the hand luggage of the passenger who was traveling to Saudi Arabia, the agency added.

The suspect was arrested and referred to the Bureau of Narcotics to question him.
