Thai authorities seized 87 elephant tusks weighing 315.2 kilograms with a value of 28 million baht (about 767,000 euro) at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport on a flight coming from Mozambique via Kenya, Thai Customs said. A Kenyan national believed to be the recipient of the cargo fled back to Kenya soon after the discovery was made by officers according to the Royal Thai Customs. The Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has banned the illegal trade of ivory since 1989. EPA/DIEGO AZUBEL
