RAF Harrier jump jets have blown up the world's biggest drug haul in
Afghanistan by dropping three 1,000lb bombs on a 237-ton stash of
cannabis.

The haul - worth £225million and weighing more than 30 double-decker
buses - was unearthed by the Special Boat Service and local commandos.

The drugs were first stuffed into grain sacks and buried in six trenches
covering an area the size of two football pitches.

Harriers then flew over the site near Kandahar and dropped their deadly
payload.

Officials believe the area - near to the Taliban stronghold of Quetta in
Pakistan - was turning dried cannabis leaves into heroin.

After the attack from Kandahar airfield, troops set fire to the remains
with petrol.

Five tons of opium, worth £2million, was also found and destroyed.

Three people were arrested.

The previous record haul was 80 tons of cocaine in Columbia in 1998.

Afghanistan's deputy Interior Minister, Lieutenant General Abdul Hadi
Khalid, said yesterday: 'This is a new world record in the global war on
drugs.'
