ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistan and Afghanistan are edging into the expanding U.S. heroin market, dominated until now by Southeast Asia, a top U.S. drug official said Sunday.
Lee Brown, director of the White House National Drug Control Policy, met with Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and said she seemed determined to try to fight drug trafficking.
Pakistan, where 1.5 million people are heroin addicts, recently imposed the death penalty for heroin dealing.

German military honors WWI Jews
BERLIN - The German military for the first time honored Jews who died fighting for Germany in World War I during Memorial Day commemorations Sunday.
In a ceremony attended by Jewish leaders, Chief of Staff Klaus Naumann laid a wreath at Berlin's Weissensee cemetery, where 395 German Jewish soldiers killed in World War I are buried.
Last year, Jewish leaders boycotted the central Memorial Day ceremony, during which a controversial war memorial was dedicated in Berlin.
