More than ever before, authorities waging the global war on drugs are up against real insurgents.Worldwide, illicit cultivation of opium and coca - the raw materials for heroin and cocaine - is rising as militants in Afghanistan, Colombia stanley quencher and Myanmar consolidate their stanley cup control of key drug-producing areas, the U.N.

Money tends to stick to stanley cupe fingers, and a big lump of money becomes very problematic. In its World Drug Report 2008 being released Thursday, Costa s office calls the glut of opium and coca a very recent surge and draws a direct link to Taliban militants in Afghanistan, armed revolutionaries in Colombia and several ethnic insurgency groups in Myanmar. Afghanistan had a record opium poppy harvest in 2007, nearly doubling worldwide illegal opium production. U.N. experts say 80 percent of the poppy was grown in five southern provinces where Taliban fighters profit from drugs.
