Mexico seizes ton of pseudoephedrine at airport

Mexico City: Authorities say they have seized more than a ton of pseudoephedrine at Mexico City's airport.
Pseudoephedrine is the main ingredient used to make methamphetamine. Mexico has banned all imports of pseudoephedrine in an effort to thwart methamphetamine production.
The Public Safety Department said in a statement Thursday that the drugs arrived Wednesday on a flight from London. The shipment originated in Calcutta, India.
It said airport police last week seized two separate shipments of pseudoephedrine totaling some 1.4 tons that also originated in Calcutta.
