Experts from the United States will be assisting the Dominican government in monitoring key points in the eastern part of the country that have been associated with the drug trade. Over the last seven months, the government officials have seized over a ton of cocaine in the region. According to Diario Libre, the program's aim is to establish a reliable intelligence network in the region.

US ambassador Hans Hertell said that the United States was pleased with the cooperation it has received from the Dominican government in fighting the newest trick in the drug traffickers' bag: dropping drug packages from low flying airplanes.
