British Troops Face Allegations Of Smuggling Heroin: "Britain's military police are investigating allegations that British soldiers may have smuggled heroin out of Afghanistan using military aircraft, the Ministry of Defense (MoD) said Sunday.
An official spokeswoman said the investigation was focusing on service personnel posted to airports in Camp Bastion and Kandahar.
'Although they are unsubstantiated, we take any such reports very seriously and we have already tightened our existing procedures both in Afghanistan and in the U.K., including increasing the use of trained sniffer dogs,' she said, ading: 'Any of our people found to be engaged in trafficking of illegal narcotics will feel the full weight of the law.'
Afghanistan accounts for almost 90% of the world's total production of opium. NATO has said that the revenue generated by illegal opium trade is financing and sustaining the Taliban insurgency in the war-torn country."
