Vietnam has seized 11.8 kilograms of rhino horns and 4.7 kilograms of elephant ivory in checked-in luggage on a flight from Qatar, Vietnam News Agency reported on Thursday. Customs officers at Noi Bai international airport in Vietnam’s capital of Hanoi found the smuggled rhino horns and ivory in 41 packages wrapped in aluminum foil in two sets of luggage of a Vietnamese man who had traveled from Angola, transited through Doha, Qatar, and arrived in Vietnam on Tuesday. The seizure came after a random check, and the luggage owner claimed that a person had paid him 50 million Vietnamese dong (2,100 U.S. dollars) to carry the packages, said the authorities. Vietnam seized roughly seven tons of ivory in the largest hauls on record last month after customs authorities in the northern port city of Hai Phong found the illegal cargo in a 20-feet container loaded with peanuts originated from the Republic of Angola, passing through Singapore and destined for Vietnam, according to Vietnam News Agency.
