KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - When the deal went down in Las Vegas, the
seller was introduced only as ``Mr. E.'' In a room at Caesars Palace
hotel, Mr. E exchanged a pound-and-a-half bag of heroin for $65,000
cash - unaware that the buyer was an undercover detective. The sting
landed him in Nevada state prison for nearly four years.
Twenty years later and Mr. E, whose real name is Izzatullah Wasifi,
has a new job. He is the government of Afghanistan's anti-corruption
chief.
