Dominican Air Force Major General Pedro Rafael Pena Antonio has told Senate members that drug flights have increased by 38% in recent months. During the meeting at the Senate, drug czar Marino Vinicio Castillo asked the US government for increased cooperation with the Dominican authorities in the fight against drugs. Castillo criticized the fact that the US had removed a radar unit that used to operate in Bani. According to Senate president Reinaldo Pared Perez, the assassination of seven men involved in the drug trade is more reason for the US government to increase its cooperation with Dominican officials. While acknowledging the alarming nature of the incident, Pared said that the DR continues to be a safe tourist destination.
