"On August 22, Tajikistan border guards spotted and shot down a home-made aircraft with heroin, on route from Afghanistan.

Tajik officials say that the piloted paraplane was transporting 18 kilograms of heroin above their southeast border."

"The country is a prime route for illegal drugs from Afghanistan, which is the world's top opium producer."
