Must have been a joint operation. It was found and destroyed. But was it torched?

US and Afghan troops destroyed 2.5 tons of marijuana they found in an abandoned school in volatile southern Afghanistan, the US military said Sunday.

The massive drugs stash was uncovered on Saturday during a joint US-Afghan operation against Taliban rebels in the Arghistan district of Kandahar province, spokesman US Colonel Greg Julian told AFP.

“Afghan and coalition troops found and destroyed two-and-a-half tons of marijuana in a school in southern Afghanistan,” Julian said.

“The troops were on a foot patrol and they checked on this compound, the school and they found that stock of marijuana. They destroyed it the same day.”
