BANGKOK: In yet another crippling blow to international drug syndicates, Thai authorities intercepted a consignment of drugs bound for a European country by pre-empting a plan to use Malaysia as a transit point.

The drugs, comprising 1.2 million Yaba (Crazy) pills, made from a type of methamphetamine drug, and 1.1 tonnes of ganja, were seized from a small lorry about 3pm (local time) in the Banmor district, Saraburi province, on Saturday.
