A statement of the Provincial Directorate for Information and Culture said that, police have discovered more than half kg of heroin and arrested two persons on the charge of involvement in drug trafficking in Afghanistan's Nimroz province.

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

The Afghan police arrested 17 drug traffickers within past seven days, authorities said on Tuesday.

Their rivalry has lasted years, but it seems Afghan and African drug cartels have buried their differences and joined hands to supply contraband in Delhi and north India.

Due to its strategic location, Iran serves as transit hub for drug traffickers moving from Afghanistan to Europe
