| NATO commander says narcotics gangs to blame for much of Afghan violence |
| 2006-04-25 |
| The commander of NATO's operations insisted Monday that an increase in violence in southern Afghanistan did not indicate a resurgence of the Taliban, blaming much of the violence on drug gangs resisting efforts to cut opium production in the region. "It's tempting to label everything as Taliban, but I'm persuaded that is not the case," said U.S. Gen. James L. Jones. |
