The Unholy Alliance: CIA and Drug Trade

This is why it sometimes gets called the Cocaine Importing Agency. The ties to Afghanistan's opium trade are also evident, not to mention Al-CIAda...

"In 1996, directors Chris Hilton and David Roberts released "An Unholy Alliance" as the second part of a trilogy of documentaries dealing with the global drug trade; with a focus on heroin and opium. The documentary offers a valuable history of the drug trade, with much rare footage, including footage of CIA favorite, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. Since Hekmatyar is back in the news, now is an important time to remind people of Hekmatyar's dubious past, and his links to the heroin industry in Afghanistan and Pakistan."
