Karzai’s brother in drug claims

AFGHAN president Hamid Karzai’s brother denied that he has ever been involved in the heroin trade, and accused US officials of fabricating allegations to harm the president.

Ahmed Wali Karzai said no one has ever been able to prove he is involved in drugs.

The issue was revived over the weekend after The New York Times reported that two unnamed US officials said the White House believes Wali Karzai is involved in heroin trafficking.
