Drugs, porn will top the G8 agenda
Stemming the flow of illicit drugs from Afghanistan and curbing international terrorism and child pornography will top the agenda at a meeting of G8 interior ministers yesterday, officials say.
Britain's top law enforcement official, Home Secretary Charles Clarke, said 87 percent of heroin and other narcotics came from Afghanistan, despite international efforts led by Britain to stem opium poppy cultivation there.

"The progress we would have liked to see has not happened," said Clarke, briefing reporters in advance of the summit. "It is a big concern. That is why we have put it on the agenda."
