Afghan opium a 'threat to world stability'

Post by Gordon Gekko » Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:49 pm

WASHINGTON (AP) -- More than three years after a pro-U.S. government was installed, Afghanistan has been unable to contain opium poppy production and is "on the verge of becoming a narcotics state," a presidential report said Friday.



The 2005 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR) said that the area in Afghanistan devoted to poppy cultivation last year set a new record of 206,700 hectares, more than triple the figure for 2003.



Thanks Bush
