@2086 Illicit drugs
Afghanistan
world's largest producer of opium; cultivation of opium
poppy - used to make heroin - expanded to 30,750 hectares in 2002,
despite eradication; potential opium production of 1,278 metric
tons; source of hashish; many narcotics-processing labs throughout
the country; drug trade source of instability and some government
groups profit from the trade; 80-90% of the heroin consumed in
Europe comes from Afghan opium; vulnerable to narcotics money
laundering through the hawala system
Albania
increasingly active transshipment point for Southwest Asian
opiates, hashish, and cannabis transiting the Balkan route and - to
a far lesser extent - cocaine from South America destined for
Western Europe; limited opium and growing cannabis production;
ethnic Albanian narcotrafficking organizations active and rapidly
expanding in Europe; vulnerable to money laundering associated with
regional trafficking in narcotics, arms, contraband, and illegal
aliens
Angola
used as a transshipment point for cocaine destined for
Western Europe and other African states
Anguilla
transshipment point for South American narcotics destined
for the US and Europe
Antigua and Barbuda
considered a minor transshipment point for
narcotics bound for the US and Europe; more significant as an
offshore financial center
