Authorities at an airport in Cyprus have arrested a 24-year-old Israeli man after allegedly discovering four human embryos stored inside a cryogenic container in his luggage during a security inspection.

According to reports, the embryos were being transported in a specialized preservation unit labeled "Life Pack" and were reportedly destined for Mexico via Istanbul.

@faab64 frightning ... how often is this happening without being noticed?? Top of an iceberg?? What happens to the embryo's??
@MarianneTiel
Israel is one of the major hubs of organ snuggling in the world, this is the first time I've read anything about embryos
@faab64 i didn't know that. Where do they get the organs from? Let me guess... NO!

@MarianneTiel
It has been a debate for 3 decades.

Swedish reporter exposed it first in mid 90s, he was crucified for it, before turkey captured a group of Israelis, including high ranking IDF involved in trafficking in turkey and rest of the world.

I used to have a directory with articles about the subject in .any languages, but the accusations by Palestinians was never taken seriously and no one ever investigated their documented organ theft of prisoners and hostages.

@faab64 how stupid are we!!!

Oh, I was wrong about the date, it happened in 2009.
