Peru seizes more than a ton of drugs

Two anti-drug missions in Peru wrapped up in March, and resulted in the seizure of more than a ton's worth of drugs including cocaine. The drugs were destined for both Bolivia and Europe. Peru is virtually tied with Colombia as the world's biggest cocaine producer. Most of Peru's coca is grown in a lawless jungle area inhabited by holdout Shining Path rebels. And in 2015 a new law was introduced authorizing the military to shoot down drug-smuggling aircraft. Credit: Reuters
