CAIRO - EGYPTIAN police have arrested a seven-year-old boy working under the alias of 'Little Devil' for selling hashish in the Suez Canal city of Ismailiya, a security official told AFP on Saturday.

The boy was arrested on Thursday in possession of two kilograms of hashish, the official said.

'He was working for a drug dealer,' the official said. 'He said someone had told him to sell the drugs. The child's nickname was 'Little Devil'.'
