MOSCOW ORDERS WAR ON DRUGS
MOSCOW'S mayor, Yuri Luzhkov, yesterday ordered police to stamp out its drug
problem by raiding bars, discos and clubs frequented by young people.
Spot checks will be made at airports, stations and roads to help to stop
hard drugs reaching the city. Drug-related crime rose 12 per cent in the
first seven months of this year compared with 1997, Mr Luzhkov said.
