lebanon-A Saudi Prince and nine other people have been charged with drug smuggling in Lebanon.

They were arrested after two tones of Captagon pills were found in cases being loaded on a private jet.

The pills, which typically contain amphetamine and caffeine, are consumed widely in the Middle East.

The drug was first produced in the 1960s, to treat hyperactivity, narcolepsy and depression. But it was banned in most countries by the 1980s, because it was too addictive.
