Can the illegal Poppy cultivation business solely account for the funding and arms/ammunition in the Af-Pak region ? By the way can the madras groomed bearded mullahs conceive and design the sophisticated 'suicide jackets' ? Weren’t they invented by West ? There were media reports about Italy making payments to Taliban although it was denied. There are frequent media reports about, another U.S ally, Saudi Arab also being involved in terror funding . Are not substantial part of money and such sophisticated 'Terror' ammunitions gifts of U.S. and many western nations passed on to them through allied states ?
