The drug war officially beginns

Military: War

A savage drug war breaks out between Euro-corp-backed dealers and DEA all over the Americas.

Provoked by the DEA's attempts to dismantle them, the drug lords of the Afghanistan highlands fought back.
Years of fighting the Soviets and other invaders had forced them to make deals with several powerful Europe-based political groups, who in turn had contacts throughout the halls of many major governments. It was never clearly determined who gave the orders, (and Tesla Johanneson was killed before he could find out who was backing the Afghans), but once the originator of the bio-weapon was uncovered as the DEA, drug producers on both sides of the Atlantic struck back in coordinated raids against the U.S.
