RAF Harrier jets have been called in to destroy the largest drugs seizure in world history after Afghan police discovered hashish worth at least $400 million…
Two Harriers launched a strike on a huge cache of 260 tons of the drug, stuffed in sacks of grain and buried in trenches and underground bunkers in Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan.
The combat aircraft dropped 1,000lb bombs on the hiding place, which also included 2.5 tons of raw opium.
After the Harriers had delivered their payload, troops set the drugs ablaze. No previous haul comes close to matching this find, which weighed roughly the same as 30 double-decker buses.
Oh, the humanity…
Oh man. What a waste!
mmmmmmmmmmm… 30 double-decker buses
It’s worth $400 million, so they blow it up. Yep, that’s government for you.
‘$400 million’ the bombs cost more than that…
Military intelligence strikes again.
…..Literally!.
Probably destroyed as it is in direct competition with this years CIA harvest
Should have just built a couple Humvees from the stuff.
This is what happens when you try to cut in on the CIA drug trade… You get blown up!
It’s amazing how we had to invade after the Taliban had cut Opium production..
You know the worlds drug dealers couldn’t stand for a production hit like that.
For anyone that would even doubt it, remember the CIA’s plane that crashed in Mexico that was LOADED with cocaine? Yeah.. It’s a good thing they are fighting for our “way of life” getting high, lying cheating and killing at every turn.
They may have won this battle…. but the odds are with the drugs for the win in the ‘War on Drugs’.
They should have used napalm… I love the smell of napalm and hashish in the morning…
Should have broke out the peace pipe.
