Laos police have made their second-biggest single seizure of illegal drugs, uncovering 36 million methamphetamine pills, a United Nations official said Saturday. The raid in the northern province of Bokeo came three months after officers netted Asia’s biggest ever haul in the same area with 55 million meth pills found in a beer truck.
