Laos drug-jet probe: 521kg meth seizure widens across region
Original: laos
Authorities in Laos and Malaysia are holding at least 13 people after 521kg of methamphetamine was seized from a private jet that flew from Subang Airport to Laos. Four people were detained in a raid on a Subang hangar, including a Malaysian pilot, as the probe widens. Police say the drugs did not come from Malaysia, while separate reporting highlights China's growing influence in Laos through pilot training and a renovated US-built airstrip.
Why now: A large cross-border meth seizure involving a private jet, arrests in two countries and unresolved questions about the drugs' origin is dominating regional coverage.
