Jakarta BNNP spokesman Comr. Safari said that 26 of the 90 people arrested tested positive for drugs in urine tests, as reported by wartakota.com.

'€œThirteen of the people who were arrested were civil servants from the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport customs and excise department and also from the law and human rights ministry. We immediately conducted urine tests on them,'€ he said.
