Omar’s Public Service Announcements

Posted by James Turnbull, Friday, 10th November 2006

In the hills over Afghanistan a man named Omar has very kindly chosen to let the whole world know exactly where he is standing. Just to the left of the arrow under the giant word “ME“.

Omar is probably also responsible for the nearby large type stating “NO DRUGS“; a worthwhile message as (since the Taliban were toppled in 2001), worldwide drug use has soared, and Afganhistan is on its way back to once again becoming the world’s largest heroin producer.
