Iraq court sentences five to life over large drug haul

  • The council said the suspects were arrested with large quantities of amphetamine tablets

DUBAI: A court in Iraq’s western Anbar province has sentenced five people to life in prison after they were found with 194,000 narcotic pills intended for sale, state news agency INA reported on Wednesday.
The council said the suspects were arrested with large quantities of amphetamine tablets that authorities believe were meant for trafficking and distribution.
The ruling was issued under Iraq’s anti-narcotics law, which imposes severe penalties for drug trafficking.
