The National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) says a modern helicopter with an infrared system will join the local fight against drug traffickers. The Bell Huey Super Plus is an old army helicopter that was refitted with new turbines and high technology at a cost of US$1.8 million. The DNCD contributed US$724,000 and the Army made up the difference, said DNCD chief Major General Julio Cesar Souffront. He said the helicopter would be used to locate drug traffickers on land and sea.
