An Afghan lawmaker has accused the US and NATO of benefiting from poppy cultivation in Afghanistan. He believes that the US-led foreign forces hinder local efforts to fight drug trafficking in the country. Meanwhile, a new UN report has put the total value of drugs trafficked from Afghanistan to Western Europe at 28 billion dollars every year.
