According to the statement, the Afghan forces discover and seized at least 8,000 kilograms of drugs in Dara-e-Ghoran of Khoshi district in the province. "Afghan Counter-Narcotics Special Operation Police backed by AAF conducted a joint operation in Dara-e-Ghoran area, Khoshi district of Pashtun-infested Logar," said the MoIA in a tweet. Officials did not provide further details but said the narcotic drugs were all torched after discovering it during the operation. Eight metric tons? Even the trees in the forest must be stoned after breathing that air. "As a result, 8,000kg of illicit drugs seized & torched in the area," the tweet added.No group or individual has been comprehended on charges with drug trafficking. But no doubt the local Taliban or possibly the Haqqani group are seething at the lost income.
