KABUL: Afghanistan's counter-narcotics police have seized 125 kg of methamphetamine during a series of operations in the Helmand province, the provincial information and culture department said in a statement.
The contraband was discovered on the outskirts of the Khanshin district, said the statement on Sunday, adding that four individuals were arrested in connection with the case and their dossiers have been referred to the judiciary for further investigation and possible legal process.
The Afghan interim government banned poppy cultivation, its processing into drugs, and drug trafficking to eliminate the menace of drugs from the once poppy-growing country, reported Xinhua news agency.
