Two-and-a-half tonnes of drugs destroyed in Kandahar
 Afghan commandoes and coalition forces discovered and destroyed two-and-a-half tonnes of drugs found in a school in Arghestan district, Kandahar province, on Friday, according to an official statement.The combined forces were conducting a foot patrol when a commando stopped to search a school and found that the building contained about two-and-a-half tonnes of marijuana besides a large room filled with marijuana seeds. The drugs were stored in two-foot-tall stacks that filled multiple 12ft-by-12ft rooms. No students or faculty were around and the school's furniture was found in the courtyard outside classrooms. The amount of rust on the furniture indicated that the school had not been in use for a long time. With the help of local villagers, the drugs were taken outside the school and destroyed.
