RCMP charge man in khat case

A 29-year-old man is charged with possession for the purposes of trafficking after about 26 kilograms of khat -- an amphetamine-like substance -- was found in two suitcases at Calgary airport, Canada.

Khat is a plantlike substance typically found in African countries such as Kenya and Ethiopia and exported into Somalia.

Sean Patrick Joseph Morgan is charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. He appeared in court Friday.

While some European countries like the UK and Germany still lack behind and have not yet forbidden the drug, imported often as "African Salad", the trafficking is also in Europe linked to the prostitution circles.
