Seven men, including two U.S. citizens, are being charged after they tried to sell drugs and weapons to U.S. agents posing as representatives of the Taliban. Witnesses working on behalf of the Drug Enforcement Administration approached the men in Ghana last June, asking if they could buy large amounts of cocaine and whether they could set up places in West Africa to store heroin on its way from Afghanistan to the U.S. As their relationship progressed, they negotiated buying weapons to help the Taliban fight U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Terrorism charges were filed against the seven men, and the two U.S. citizens are being held in Romania while they await extradition to the U.S.
