Don't mention Afghanistan, I did once but I think I got away with it

Priceless little ditty from the Khaleej times today, they are desperate not to mention Afghanistan throughout the article (why? it's bleeding obvious where they are talking about) but then right at the end when they were in the clear, they drop the name, hilarious.

ABU DHABI — The United Nations (UN) has warned that Gulf states ran the risk of becoming a drug hub — transit point or final destination — because a neighbouring Asian country currently accounts for 75 per cent of the world's total opium produce.

An official of the Interior Ministry said a statistical report released recently by the UN disclosed this alarming fact, that the Gulf countries were at high risk of becoming the hub for drug trafficking despite the strenuous efforts of the governments of the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council to foil attempts to smuggle drugs into their countries from that Asian country.

The official said last month authorities in Kuwait arrested an Asian drug trafficker who was trying to smuggle into the country 33kg of pure cocaine, which he had brought from Afghanistan via Pakistan, adding that Kuwait was fast becoming one of the favoured destinations of drug-smugglers to peddle their shipments of narcotic drugs. The smuggler had cleverly concealed the heroin in a hand-woven carpet by making holes in it to smuggle the drug into the country but couldn't escape the eagle eyes of the Kuwaiti authorities.
