  "summary": "Kuwait International Airport authorities have arrested a French visitor who was found to be carrying 1,603 sheets of paper soaked in a narcotic substance, according to Gulf News. The seizure occurred at Terminal 4 when customs officers stopped the French national entering Kuwait on a visit visa and inspected his luggage. The sheets, weighing a total of 13.154 kilograms, were discovered to be saturated with a narcotic substance locally known as “chemical.” The arrest marks what authorities claim is the largest drug operation ever foiled in Kuwait, with the suspect and the confiscated material to be referred to the General Administration for Combating Drugs and Alcohol for further investigation and legal action.",
