The 262-ton hashish seizure is the largest of any known drug seizure. Operation Albatross was a result of the joint effort between the Government Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and DEA’s Foreign-Deployed Advisory and Support Teams (FAST). Operation Albatross was also supported by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization International Security Assistance Force (NATO-ISAF), U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. Department of State.
Search warrants were executed on five narcotics
super-labs and numerous underground drug-bunkers in
Spin Boldak, located in Kandahar Province. The
search warrants were served in Taliban-controlled
areas of the region. Twelve suspects were also
arrested during Operation Albatross.
