BUDAPEST, Oct 10 (Reuters) - NATO allies reached a compromise deal on Friday on a U.S. call for direct attacks on the Afghan drugs trade that the alliance's military commander says is key to bringing security, a NATO diplomat said. NATO operations commander Gen. John Craddock has asked for the alliance force in Afghanistan to be allowed to attack laboratories, trafficking networks and drug lords to stem a trade that helps fund the Taliban insurgency. "There is a deal," the NATO diplomat said, without giving details.
