Our correspondent said that the cargo consisted of cartons of “smoke” tobacco coming from the city of Al-Bukamal, east of Deir Ezzor, and its destination was the governorate of Damascus.
He added that it was loaded with a “Lman” passenger bus belonging to Al-Iman Company, and the officers confiscated the cargo and released the bus.
