Its clear the mission of NATO in Afghanistan has evolved into a full-fledged attempt to eradicate Taliban
The United Nations urged NATO forces Tuesday to take military action to destroy the opium industry in southern Afghanistan, saying cultivation of the crop is out of control in the embattled Asian country.
U.N. anti-drug chief Antonio Maria Costa said opium production was being used to fund terrorist groups, and that eradicating it was crucial to establishing order in the south.
'In the turbulent southern region, counterinsurgency and counter-narcotics efforts must reinforce each other so as to stop the vicious circle of drugs funding terrorists and terrorists protecting drug traffickers,' Costa said.
He urged NATO countries to give the alliance the mandate and added resources to expand its mission in southern Afghanistan and take action against production of the crop used to make heroin.
