(AP) — Attorney General John Ashcroft and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani helped open a museum exhibit Tuesday intended to show Americans that buying illegal drugs can support terrorist attacks. The exhibit, titled “Target America,” includes Sept. 1 1 rubble from the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It is housed at a museum in the Drug Enforcement Administration's headquarters. DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson said the exhibit aims to educate Americans about the role drug money has in terrorism. “Before terrorism hit home on Sept. 1 1, few Americans real ized the connection, and fewer still understood that drug money has been used to fund terror ism,” Hutchinson said. Attorney General John Ashcroft said, “Terrorism and drugs go together like rats and the plague. They thrive in the same conditions, and they feed off of each other.” The exhibit, supported by $650.(XX) from the DEA budget plus private financing from donors, will go on nationwide tour next year. It includes photographs from Afghanistan that outline connec tions the al-Qaida terror network and the Taliban militia. Afghanistan's former rulers, have had to drug trafficking. An interactive map illustrates that some reputed opium sellers and distributors support the Taliban. The rubble from the World Trade Center sits as part of a replica of the ruins left after the towers fell. Another section of the exhibit is devoted to explor ing the history of the “narcoter rorist,” the Bush administra tion's label for drug runners who support groups like al-Qaida.
