PERU SAYS U.S. TO RESUME ANTI-DRUG FLIGHTS
U.S. drug patrols over Peru will resume in 2002, the Peruvian government
said. "There's no fixed date, but we do know that they will resume next
year," Vice President Raul Diez Canseco said. The flights were suspended in
April after a Peruvian military jet, acting on intelligence provided by
Americans, mistook a hydroplane for a drug-running aircraft and shot it
down. Two Americans were killed.
