    Default Trafficking of pills used by suicide bombers soars in Sahel

    Thread re-opened as this BBC News item is different and intriguing:
    The UN has warned of a rise in trafficking of the synthetic opioid tramadol across West Africa, as one official revealed it is being found in the pockets of suicide bombers.....The opioid is known to be popular with Islamist militants Boko Haram.

    Two small threads were merged after opening and the title changed from: Drug Intoxicated Irregular Fighters and Drug Trafficking and Middle Eastern Terrorist Groups, to 'Drug use by insurgents and terrorists'.
