DENPASAR: A British former war correspondent and an Australian man have been arrested on Indonesia’s Bali island for alleged hashish possession and could face up to 20 years in jail, police said on Monday. The Briton, David Fox, and Australian, businessman Giuseppe Serafino, were detained on Saturday for allegedly possessing small quantities of the drug. Fox, who has covered conflicts and natural disasters around the world, told police he had been using hashish for years due to the stress of covering war zones. He worked for the Thomson Reuters news agency for over 20 years and covered conflicts and disasters in Rwanda, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq.
