DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A 66-year-old Chinese woman who has been dubbed the "Queen of Ivory" was arrested in Tanzania on suspicion of smuggling 706 elephant tusks worth an estimated $2.5 million.
Yang Feng Glan, an infamous smuggler with a network of operatives from Tanzania to China, is perhaps the most prolific ivory trafficker arrested in East Africa in a decade. Some of her suspected suppliers were also arrested.
