US official declares war on drugs a success

A senior US drug official yesterday hailed Thailand's war against drugs as a success.

William J. Snipes, the regional director of the US Drug Enforcement Administration, said the war on drugs has been effective.

``Whether that's a lasting effect, we'll have to wait and see. Temporarily, we look at it as successful,'' he said. (snip)

(snip)The government began a violent crackdown on drugs in February and plans to announce the country drug free ahead of the King's birthday on Dec 5. (snip/)
