$10 million is smuggled out of Afghanistan daily, official says - latimes

Reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan - An estimated $10 million a day is smuggled out of Afghanistan, most of it through Kabul's international airport, rather than through secret routes over the mountains or across the desert, the country's finance minister said Sunday.

The $10-million figure comes from a 19-day undercover study conducted by the U.S. that estimated $190 million left the airport undetected during that period, Zakhilwal and U.S. officials said. No similar study was done for the international airport in Kandahar. - $10 million is smuggled out of Afghanistan daily, official says
