Afghan drug trade hits $4 billion
Afghan poppy farmers and drug traffickers annually earn an estimated $4 billion. According to a senior drug enforcement official with the Collective Security Treaty Organization, in the past seven years drug production in this Moslem nation has increased to about 8,000 tons – a whopping 40-fold jump since the 2001 US-led invasion. Speaking at an international conference in Bishkek, Mikhail Melikhov mentioned the Islamic Movement of Turkestan, Hezb-ut-Tahrir and other extremist groups as the main exporters of illegal drugs to Russia and further on to Europe and America.
