A policeman rides past officials as a huge fire engulfs about 30 million worth of illicit drugs at a destruction ceremony conducted by Myanmar\'s government in Yangon May 12, 2001. Organisers claim that tonnes of heroin, amphetamines and other illegal substances that have been gathered in its campaign against the global drug trade were burned at the ceremony. [Myanmar held a United-Nations sponsored conference on drug control this week where South-East Asian governments gathered to hammer out ways to stamp out the rocketing trade in amphetamines and other drugs that are coming out of the golden triangle and other regions.]
