// HONGKONG: Elephant tusks worth more than $1 million were seized by Hong
Kong customs after being discovered hidden under bags of soya in
shipments from West Africa, officials said Thursday.
In what officials called an "intelligence-based" operation last month, the
southern Chinese city's border control found 189 tusks in three
containers.
"After X-ray examination, the officers found the ivory
tusks, weighing 769 kilogrammes (1,695 pounds) in total, in the
innermost parts of the containers. The ivory tusks were packed in linen
and nylon bags and covered by bags of soya," a Hong Kong government
spokesman said in a statement released Thursday.//
