Unprecedented Locust Plague Hits Afghanistan
by steve468
Afghanistan
An UNPRECEDENTED LOCUST PLAGUE has prompted local officials in some areas to offer wheat as a reward to residents for killing the insects. Some 300 tons of locusts have been killed by people in the northwestern province of Badghis in recent weeks. "This is a regional problem and is not limited only to Afghanistan."

There's going to be some stoned locusts after they get into the poppies!
