RIYADH: The Saudi General Directorate of Narcotics Control working with the Royal Malaysian Customs Department has thwarted an attempt to smuggle more than 302 kilograms of cocaine in Malaysia.

Lauding the cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Malaysia, he noted that the seizure had come about as a result of security monitoring of the activities of criminal networks and information supplied by the Saudi ministry to Malaysia.
