US and Britain accused of creating heroin trail

Article Abstract:

Some observers believe that Afghanistan's Taliban regime is deliberately flooding the world market with heroin, opium and hashish. It had imposed a ban on opium poppy production, but it failed to stop the production and export of heroin from existing stockpiles. It is now threatening to lift the ban if it is attacked.
