...cultivation of poppies, from which heroin is derived. But he admitted last week that "poppy production and the production of heroin are the major problem of Afghanistan." And terrorist coffers are rich with the profits: the U.N. says groups like the Taliban pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars last year from a record 3,600 tons of opium, with farmers - taking home up to ten times a policeman's pay - expecting further growth this year.
