| 2008-01-09 |
| Security officials at the Torkham border crossing have seized more than five kilograms of heroin on Tuesday. One and a half kilograms of heroin were recovered from a couple while crossing the border from Afghanistan into Pakistan, officials said. The Afghan national, named Ba Khan and his wife were taken into custody on charges of smuggling the narcotics. The woman was later freed while the man remained locked for further investigations. Another three and a half kilograms of heroin, packed in packets of a popular detergent powder making company, were seized from a handcart. People crossing the border usually hire handcarts to carry their baggage, as they had to walk nearly half a kilometre distance before reaching the taxi stand. |

| #4 So, responding to EU6305's comment: What kind of a combine would we send to another country to process the crop? Why an International Harvester I would imagine. (tip your waitress, and do try the veal, it's very tasty) |

| #2 We don't have to buy it. Just send combines to Afghanistan, harvest it and confiscate it. |

| #1 If the Supreme Court rules the three drug cocktail used for lethal injection unconstitutional, maybe the US should buy up the poppies so all our prisoners on death row can have a speedy deep sleep. Win/win solution. |
