This timely and important work offers an in-depth analysis of the
existence-or nonexistence-of a nexus between international
terrorism and drug trafficking emanating from Afghanistan. The
Nexus: International Terrorism and Drug Trafficking from
Afghanistan addresses an issue that directly impacts the prospects
for resolution of the current insurgency in that nation. Written by
noted terrorism expert Frank Shanty, the book explores the nature
and the extent of involvement between international criminal drug
traffickers, particularly of drugs originating from Afghanistan,
and international terrorist networks with global reach. Shanty
dispels the myths and disinformation surrounding this vital-and
controversial-question, even as he arrives at his own answers. In
addition to offering a historical overview of the opium problem in
Afghanistan from the late 1970s to 2010, the book looks at three
distinct phenomena. It examines the existence, characteristics, and
behavior of international terrorists operating from Afghanistan,
specifically the evolution and ascendancy of al-Qaeda and the
Taliban and the nature of their relationship. It looks at
Afghanistan's opium trade relative to specific-actor involvement
and, finally, it analyzes allegations of a link between terrorists
in Afghanistan and international drug criminals and the
implications of that connection. 23 figures, tables, charts,
graphs, and sidebars 5 maps showing drug trafficking routes and
terrorist attack data A list of abbreviations and acronyms A list
of Islamic terms and concepts A 126-page bibliography
