Eden revisited - "Drug smugglers exploit Iraq chaos"
"It is another example of how the war in Iraq is causing major problems across the region."
"A lack of security in Iraq is causing a big increase in drug smuggling across the region, according to a senior official in neighbouring Jordan.
"The head of Jordan's anti-narcotics department, Tayel Majali, says there has been a string of substantial drugs hauls along Jordan's border with Iraq."
"Iraq's other neighbours were recording similar problems as the security situation in Iraq worsened, he said."
"Mr Majali believes the drugs are coming from Afghanistan, then being brought through Iran and the Kurdish areas of Iraq."
