Russia believes the United Nations mandate of the NATO-led force in Afghanistan must include a leading role in the fight against Afghan-grown drugs. Speaking in Moscow on Friday, this country’s chief counter-narcotics officer Viktor Ivanov looked forward to NATO help in stopping the northward flow of illegal opiates from Afghan territory. He also announced a Russian plan to coach 225 counter-drug police for Afghanistan.  The curriculum includes a course in dog-handling.
