Afghan "economic reconstruction" proceeds apace.
3000 Kg of Afghan heroin intercepted at a port in Gujarat (India) originating in Afghanistan and shipped via the port of Bandar Abbas in Iran. Apparently it was consigned as unprocessed talcum powder which, it appears, is one of the few exports from the country - other than heroin and opium of course. Whenever this was dispatched it's beyond question that it originated within the Taliban heartland. It's worth pointing out that both Afghanistan and Iran have massive numbers of heroin addicts and also that Iran deploys a vast number of border troops, thousands of whom have been killed, in an attempt to intercept shipments across its border with Afghanistan. Much of that trade is controlled by the Haqquanis one of whom is now a member of the Afghan government.
