Six trailers heading to Syria were seized by a patrol of the Internal Security Forces in the town of Saadnayel in the Bekaa Valley.
The trailer trucks were accompanied by another vehicle, a blue Nissan Sunny, which had three Syrians in it.
The three Syrians were identified as Abdel Rahman Khaled Srour, 21, Sabei Adnan Srour, 27 and Yehya Mahmoud al-Mkahhal, 51.
They were all arrested.
Captagon is a stimulant and synthetic drug that is particularly popular in the Middle East.
some way towards explaining the frenzy of violence in Syria. It reminds me of the blonde Western agents who terrorised Mumbai in 2008: they too were pumped full of drugs. In Syria there's this toxic combination of ultra-fundie religious types and hard drugs that is fuelling cannibalism, hacking off the limbs of women and children, shooting indiscriminately into crowded areas, kidnappings, rape and torture.
And all of it is paid for by the US, UK, France and Israel through Qatar, Turkey and Jordan.
