Rabat, Morocco - At least 110.8 tonnes of hashis, mainly Europe-bound, were seized in 2008 by Moroccan narcotics control services, local media reported, quoting the Ministry of Interior.

 

In addition, they also seized 33.5 kg of cocaine, 6.2 kg of heroin and 43,510 units of psychotropic substances.

 

Meanwhile, security forces arrested 591 foreign drug traffickers, including 122 French nationals, 21 Italians, 20 Dutch and 12 Belgians.
