Five men were caught diving to recover three sealed barrels holding about 120 kilograms of hashish and opium near Qatari waters. The main trafficker was sentenced to death and a fine of 500,000 riyals, two others to life imprisonment, a fourth to seven years, and a fifth to one year and 10,000 riyals for using drugs. The newspaper called the verdict rare.[1]
