Opium production in Afghanistan is soaring out of control, the annual UN report on illegal drugs says.
The World Drug Report says more than 90% of illegal opium, which is used to make heroin, comes from Afghanistan.
It says cultivation of opium poppies increased dramatically in the country, despite the presence of more than 30,000 international troops there.
The report says Afghanistan is unlikely to regain real security until the production of illegal drugs is tackled. BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Afghan opium production ’soars’.<br />
