CHINESE NARCOTICS OFFICER BUSTED FOR DRUGS SMUGGLING

A Chinese police officer named a national hero for relentless campaigns
against drug trafficking gangs faces prosecution for smuggling heroin, says
the official Xinhua news agency.

Zhou Kun had captured more than 1000 drug smugglers, but in November police
caught two members of a trafficking ring who said they were working for
Zhou. Xinhua says he has confessed to smuggling narcotics on repeated
occasions.
