State media say a court in Vietnam has sentenced an American to death for heroin trafficking.
The Liberated Saigon newspaper says Jason Dinh, 41, was convicted of trafficking 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of heroin at a one-day trial by Ho Chi Minh City's People's Court on Tuesday (April 22).
The paper said Wednesday that Dinh was arrested last June after customs officials found the heroin hidden in his underwear as he was boarding a flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Australia.
The report quoted the indictment as saying Dinh was hired by an unidentified man to carry the heroin for $30,000. Court officials were not available for comment Wednesday.
