Afghan police working with British special forces have uncovered a drugs stash of 237 tonnes of hashish.
Afghan and British officials say they believe it to be the world's biggest seizure of drugs in terms of weight.
The drugs were found hidden in trenches in Kandahar province on Monday. The haul was so large that British jets bombed it to destroy the hashish.
Nato's top general in Afghanistan said the find would seriously cripple the Taleban's ability to buy weapons.
