A 21-year-old Afghan drug mule
had an operation to save his life after a number of heroin
balloons split open inside him while travelling from Germany to
Italy, Milan police said Friday.
The man arrived by bus in Milan Thursday evening and
complained of severe stomach pains, after which he was rushed to
hospital and operated on.
Doctors found 18 balloons in his stomach and several more in
his colon.
He is in a serious but non-life-threatening condition,
medical sources said.
