JAKARTA, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's National Narcotics Agency (BNN) said on Wednesday it detained 10 Indonesian nationals who tested positive for drugs after arriving from Bangkok, Thailand, at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten province.
BNN Chief Commissioner General Suyudi Ario Seto said the operation followed an investigation into two foreigners caught smuggling 7.8 kg of hashish from Thailand.
Out of 14 passengers screened, 10 tested positive for various illicit drugs. A suitcase belonging to one passenger contained 22 grams of suspected ketamine, which is being tested, said Seto.
The 10 Indonesians, identified by initials, were classified as minor or first-time users and referred to outpatient rehabilitation at the agency's clinic in Jakarta.
