(AP)Authorities have arrested two Chinese citizens suspected of smuggling rhinoceros horns worth about $300,000 through Suvarnabhumi airport. The eight rhino horns weighing a total of 6.2 kilogrammes were discovered on Tuesday when airport security X-rayed the suspects' baggage. Horns, blood, skin and urine from endangered rhinoceroses are in high demand across Asia for their use in traditional Chinese medicine. Thai authorities say they have seized 38 rhinoceros horns worth over $6 million in three cases over the past four years.
