Taleban fighters using giant Afghan marijuana forests for cover are proving a tough foe to smoke out, the head of Canada's armed forces has revealed.
Thickets three metres (10ft) high readily absorb heat, making them hard to penetrate with thermal devices, said Gen Rick Hillier in a speech in Ottawa.
"You really have to be careful the Taleban don't dodge in and out of those marijuana forests," he added.
Burning them is not an option as they are laden with water, the general said.
アフガニスタンの一地方では、大麻の大きな林に隠れたタリバン兵が国連派遣のカナダ兵に奇襲をかけてくるそうです。焼却を試みたところ、風下にいたカナダ兵に影響が出たとのこと。この大麻は家畜の餌や繊維素材として育てられているそうです。
