IRAN-UN-AFGHANISTAN-DRUG
Antonio Maria Costa, director of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC) smells an open sack of opium on display during a ceremony concluding anti-narcotics manoeuvres in Iran's southeastern city of Zahedan on May 20, 2009. Maria Costa praised Iran during a visit on Wednesday for curbing the flow of smuggled heroin from Afghanistan and helping keep the drug off Western streets Iran, which shares a 900-km (560-mile) border with Afghanistan, is a conduit for smuggling drugs to the West. According to UN reports, up to two million Iranians are estimated to use narcotics. More than 3,700 Iranian security personnel have been killed fighting drug smugglers since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution. AFP PHOTO/BEHROUZ MEHRI
