MOSCOW, August 25 (RIA Novosti) - Drug police in the Russian Volga republic of Tatarstan have seized 13 kg of heroin from a group of Afghan drug dealers, the Russian drug control service said on Tuesday.

"The leader of a criminal group and two his accomplices have been arrested," the service said in a statement, without disclosing the time of the operation.

Two suspected drug dealers, a 50-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man were arrested upon their arrival in the Tatar capital, Kazan, by rail. Some 10 kg of Afghan heroin packed in seven plastic 1.5-liter bottles were seized from the woman, and a gun was seized from the man.
