Top Vietnamese leaders tied to heroin traffic says Yale scholar
Alfred W. McCoy of Yale told a Foreign Operations panel that South Viet Nam is divided politically with heroin routes controlled by President Thieu, ex President Ky, and Prime Minister Khiem. He linked Laotian and Cambodian power figures to opium and morphine flows and claimed CIA allied generals oversee trafficking. He warned American diplomats and agents are entangled with corrupt groups, with a book on the topic due later this year.
