The AP provides today one of the first reports I've heard of fighting at a drug lab. The report says the guards were "suspected Taliban" but I wonder how accurate this is...Wish there were more detail on this raid.
In the southern Zabul province, Afghan and coalition troops clashed with insurgents in Daychopan district Sunday, killing four suspected Taliban and wounding four others, said Fazel Bari, the Daychopan district chief.
Also Sunday, Afghan and coalition troops destroyed a heroin laboratory after battling Taliban fighters guarding the facility, a separate coalition statement said. The lab in Helmand contained large amounts of opium-processing chemicals as well as weapons, insurgent propaganda and explosive materials, it said.

A little bit more on the drug lab raid can be found here: http://www.pajhwak.com/viewstory.asp?lng=eng&id=41980
The US military offered an official statement on the bust here:

It is striking how they stress the lab's occupants were 'Taliban' in each of these reports. The fact that Coalition forces are actively raiding drug labs in Taliban territory is nothing new, however, it comes at a particular dicey time as the ongoing poppy problem has (incredibly) gotten worse.

Have you ever been to Daychopan?
Let me tell you, lots of Taliban. Historicaly it is where the senior leadership used to gather and a lot of fighting since the Coalition has tried to control the area. Drug Lab ? No, its Afghanistan. Drugs, yes being stored or moved. If you know anything about the situation you would be aware of the significance of the Daychopan district and if you knew anything about the Taliban you would know they run many aspects of the drug trade from loans to farmers to plant poppy, to movement of drugs, to shake downs, to forcing farmers to grow poppy. Please volunteer yourselves to go forth and learn firsthand rather than armchair a region of the world you do not know or understand.
