ROME - Italian customs police have arrested five people in separate drug busts, including two Brazilians who tried smuggling in cocaine hidden between packaged meat slices. Police at Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci airport said Tuesday they seized 33 pounds of the drug last week. Giuseppe di Stasio said officers became suspicious when they found packages of red meat in the luggage of the Brazilian man and woman. Inspection showed small packets of cocaine had been hidden between the meat slices. In a separate operation, police arrested three Argentines who tried to bring in cocaine in a hidden compartment of their suitcase. Di Stasio said the drugs would have had a total street value of euro8 million ($10.

Roshni is writing against the norm from right to left reversing each letter so that when seen in mirror the script appears normal. Talking about her extraordinary writing skills to reporters here today, Roshni said that once watching TV she saw a girl reading a script in its mirror image which appeared in reverse and that inspired her. He added that Roshni was equally comfortable in writing English, Hindi as well as numbers in the reverse. While her parents await her to be famous, Roshni is envied by her classmates who enjoy watching her as she experiments with new forms of reverse writing.
