Brit khat lover arrested

Greek police have arrested a British man on suspicion of trying to smuggle 16.8 kg (36.9 lb) of the narcotic leaf khat into the country, police said on Tuesday.

The suspect told police he had been paid by a group of Africans in London to carry the drug to their associates in Greece.

Khat is typically grown in East Africa and Yemen, where it is known as Qat. Banned in many Western nations but legal in Somalia and neighbouring nations, the leaf gives the chewer a mild amphetamine-like high.
