Police Foil Drug-Smuggling Chicken Legs

British police said on Friday they had foiled an attempt to smuggle fried chicken legs stuffed with cannabis to a gunman involved in one of Britain's longest armed sieges on record.

Detectives agreed to let the gunman order the food in a bid to persuade him to end the stand-off at a house in east London where he has been holding a man hostage for more than a week.
