Thai woman held in Kenya ivory bust Nairobi - Kenyan police arrested a Thai woman at Nairobi airport as she checked in for a flight to Bangkok with 20kg of illegal ivory, the wildlife service said on Sunday. The woman was arrested on Saturday night while in transit from Maputo in Mozambique with 105 pieces of ivory jewellery and raw ivory. She will be arraigned before a magistrate Monday, Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) said in a statement. The latest arrest comes two weeks after Kenyan police apprehended two Bangkok-bound Singaporeans who were checking in 92kg of illegal raw ivory at Nairobi airport. Kenya, which has successfully repopulated several herds of elephants in recent years, is a major source of smuggled ivory and has seen a rise in poaching lately. The recent deployment of teams of sniffer dogs at Nairobi airport has facilitated arrests of smugglers of wildlife and wildlife products. Thailand is a known transit point for the ivory, most of which is then sent to China, where it is used in medicines and ornaments. - AFP Cheers, ~ Alan Life Member NRA Life Member SCI email: editorusa(@)africanxmag(dot)com African Expedition Magazine: http://www.africanxmag.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.p.bunn Twitter: http://twitter.com/EditorUSA Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
