Pigeon arrested after it was caught smuggling 200 ecstasy pills to Kuwait

A bird has been arrested in Kuwait after it was seen with a small backpack on it's back. The bird was reportedly sent by traffickers to transport some white pills from Iraq to Kuwait.

Once the backpack is opened up, close to 200 small, white pills can be seen spilling out.

The bird was caught by authorities after being spotted flying around an inner-city office block.

The plight of the pigeon has captured the attention of the internet, with users calling it a 'flight risk' and urging authorities not to grant it bail.
