Reports Australian arrested in Vietnam on drugs charges
Updated
A 35-year-old Australian woman is reported to have been arrested in Vietnam after collapsing when a heroin-packed condom burst inside her stomach.
State media reports say she was put under police guard in a Ho Chi Minh City hospital after doctors recovered two condom-filled packages of the drug.
She is alleged to have collapsed on her way to the airport to catch a flight to Australia.
Several Australians have been caught in Vietnam with the drug in recent years.
None is known to have been executed as Canberra has lobbied for clemency.
