Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
Abstract
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence conducted an investigation into drug trade prevention capabilities in Peru following the shooting down of a Peruvian aircraft suspected of trafficking drugs. The committee gathered testimony and conducted hearings regarding the shootdown. The committee found that while aircraft interdiction was effective in controlling drug trafficking from Peru, the strategy runs the risk of shooting down innocent planes suspected of trafficking drugs.
