Provincial police spokesman Tahir Ehrar said that, they have arrested a drug trafficker and confiscated 11 kg of hashish from his possession in Khost province.

Experts say that global and regional cooperation is needed to fight against narcotics, because the markets for buying and selling narcotics and the main traffickers are outside the borders of Afghanistan.

Afghan police have arrested a drug smuggler and confiscated pockets of heroin in the northern Kunduz province.

Primary and appeal courts of judicial center for counter-narcotic drug have sentenced 45 narcotic drug smugglers from 13-18 years to jail.
