PUL-E-ALAM, Afghanistan, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- Afghan security forces have detained four people with 350 kg of opium poppy in east Afghanistan's Logar province, state-run news agency Bakhtar reported Tuesday.

The smugglers attempted to smuggle the opium poppy by car, but the security forces discovered the smuggled goods and detained the four commuters on the charge of trafficking the contraband, the news agency added.
