On July 4, authorities at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport stopped the shipment which was inside two wooden crates marked ''marble pieces'' that contained four suitcases with the ivory inside. They seized 250 kilos of ivory -- or about 130 tusks and pieces. The haul was headed from Congo to Laos and transited through several countries in between, said the deputy director-general of the Customs Department, Chamroen Photiyod.[EN][VN]
