Airport Security Force (ASF) personnel in a massive raid at the Bacha Khan International Airport Peshawar intercepted a passenger and recovered ice heroin worth Rs150 million from his procession. According to the ASF spokesman, the passenger named Habib secretly hid 748 grams of drugs in his shoes. During the search, the ASF personnel recovered the drugs from the shoes and foiled the smuggling attempt. Bacha Khan International Airport is located approximately 180 km from Islamabad, about two-hour drive from the capital via the state-of-the-art M-1 motorway. The airport traces its origins to 1927 when there was a small airfield that catered too much of the British Empire and aircraft that were either travelling onwards to the east.
