Kabul, May 23 -- Afghan police have arrested four suspected drug smugglers along with 30,000 stimulant tablets in the country's capital, Kabul city, the local media Tolonews reported Friday.

The suspects, according to the report, were attempting to sell the contraband to drug addicts in different parts of the city. However, police identified them in the Police District 15 of Kabul and took them into custody for further investigations, the report said.

The Afghan interim government has banned poppy cultivation and vowed to crack down on illicit drugs and their trafficking until the war-torn Asian country gets rid of the drug menace.
