Afghanistan -- June 9, 2008 A DRUGS haul unearthed by Afghan commandoes, working with their British counterparts in the Special Boat Service, was so large that RAF Harrier jump jets were called in to bomb it, it emerged yesterday. The crack teams discovered 236.8 tons of cannabis buried in vast trenches in the desert. The drugs had a minimum street value of £225 million, and weighed more than 30 double-decker buses, officials said. British fighter jets were called in from nearby Kandahar Airfield to smash open the underground stores. A Nato spokesman said the planes dropped three 1,000lb bombs on the trenches, before troops from the commando unit known as 333 doused the wreckage with petrol and set them alight. http://www.dosenation.com/listing.php?id=4822 http://news.scotsman.com/world/RAF-jet-strike-on-world39s.4177039.jp Jun 27 08, 11:11 AM
