<\/td>\n<\/tr>\nKABUL, Afghanistan — The country is fighting an uphill,
\n ”David and Goliath” battle to control opium production, which is being
\n used to
\n fund terrorism in some parts of the nation, Antonio Maria Costa, chief
\n of the United Nations antidrug agency, said yesterday.<\/p>\n
Costa said Karzai is about to sign the first antidrug law in Afghanistan
\n and has created a counternarcotics arm of the National Security Council.
\n But its annual budget is only $3 million, compared with estimated revenues
\n from opium production in Afghanistan last year of $1.2 billion. <\/p>\n
”Today it is David against Goliath, and it is a huge Goliath, and it
\n is a very small David,” Costa said. <\/p>\n
