END SUMMARY 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------- 
ERADICATION CONTINUES, UNFAZED BY COCALERO PROTESTS 
--------------------------------------------- -------- 
2. (U)  As of October 31, CORAH has eradicated 9,716 hectares 
of coca leaf and eliminated 33,456 square meters of seedbeds. 
 CORAH continues to hop-scotch around the area of 
Tocache/Uchiza in the San Martin region to frustrate attempts 
by cocaleros to gather and stage confrontations.  On several 
occasions, minor protests by coca farmers have aimed at 
disrupting eradication operations, but effective police 
protection has allowed CORAH to average 30 hectares a day. 
Interior Minister Pilar Mazzetti has taken a firmer public 
stance against the cocaleros and in favor of the eradication 
program, stating: "Police have a right to repel violence", 
which is providing important support for the police 
protecting the eradicators (Reftel). 
 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
POLICE "PRE-ACADEMY" GAINS SUPPORT FROM COMMUNITY 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
3. (U)  NAS is working closely with the PNP to improve the 
quality of the applicants to the NAS-sponsored police 
academies East of the Andes by funding "pre-academies" 
(post-secondary schools) to raise the educational level of 
academy applicants.  Not all the graduates of the schools are 
expected to qualify for the police academy; those who do not 
would return to contribute to their communities.  The first 
school has been started in Santa Lucia, with close to 200 
students now enrolled.  The program has been warmly welcomed 
by the local populace and local authorities.  NAS and the PNP 
are also planning for schools in Mazamari and Ayacucho. 
 
4. (U)  The DIRANDRO Special Operations Group destroyed 79 
cocaine-base laboratories and tons of precursor chemicals and 
coca leaf in the VRAE.  To date, a total of 678 cocaine-base 
laboratories, 186 tons of precursor chemicals, and 870 tons 
of coca leaf were destroyed, which translates into averting 
the production of 9.5 tons of cocaine HCl in the VRAE. 
Currently, the coca leaf price in Aguaytia is 120 nuevo soles 
per arroba (11.5 kg), about 100 in Tocache, and 70-80 in the 
VRAE. 
 
--------------------------------------------- --- 
NAS UNABLE TO DEPEND ON MI-17 HELOS FOR SUPPORT 
--------------------------------------------- --- 
5. (U)  The eradication efforts have been supported with 
eight UH-2s and two PNP MI-17s.  The heavy-lift MI-17s are an 
important part of NAS airlift for eradication, yet one of the 
MI-17s is routinely grounded for maintenance.  NAS has not 
been able to depend on them.  The only reliable source of 
transportation is the UH-2s, therefore, it was critical that 
NAS just received the remaining five UH-2s that had been on 
loan to INL/A for training crews for Afghanistan. 
 
6. (U)  The NAS-supported FAP C-26s with FLIR detected one 
new clandestine runway in the vicinity of Tarapoto and 
verified the condition and use or non-use of 14 other known 
clandestine runways. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ----------- 
COCAINE HCL MIXED WITH PINEAPPLE JUICE SEIZED IN CALLAO 
--------------------------------------------- ----------- 
7. (U)  On October 15 at the Port of Callao, NAS, with DEA 
assistance, provided information to Peruvian Customs/DIRANDRO 
which led to the seizure of 808 kg of liquid cocaine HCL 
masked in pineapple juice within jars of pineapple 
slices/sections.  This was the second shipment by this 
particular drug-trafficking organization (DTO); the first 
shipment was transshipped through Savannah, Georgia in August 
2006 (final destination unknown).  Related to the seizure in 
Callao, the same DTO send a third shipment of pineapple to 
Turkey this month.  DEA issued an International Alert on the 
shipment, which allowed Turkish officials to seize another 
800 kg of cocaine HCl.  In addition, the Manifest Review Unit 
(MRU) has sent International Alerts to the U.S. and the 
Bahamas on containers suspected of carrying cocaine HCl. 
Results of these alerts will be reported on separate REFTEL 
as soon as they are available.  On October 26th, at the 
Unimar terminal in Callao, 82.20 kg of cocaine was found in 
ceramic handicrafts. 
 
8. (U)  At the Jorge Chavez International Airport, a total of 
203.45 kg of cocaine was seized by NAS-sponsored Airport 
Police and Customs units, using non-intrusive instruments and 
canines trained in the U.S.  Since the NAS began its airport 
program in January 2006, over 1,600 kg of cocaine HCl has 
been seized.  On October 18, the US Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS) received assistance from NAS personnel in 
intercepting a person attempting to board an aircraft with a 
fraudulent U.S. visa and Peruvian passport.  The imposter was 
headed for Newark, New Jersey.  On October 28, 8 kg of 
Peruvian heroin was found in two false-bottom suitcases 
belonging to two Mexican nationals from Guadalajara.  This 
seizure is the largest heroine interdiction ever at the 
airport.  At the Peruvian Post Office 48.5 kg were seized 
this month, for example, 12 kg of cocaine was being sent to 
New Jersey. 
 
9. (U)  On October 14, the NAS/DEA-sponsored National Ports 
Intelligence Group provided information to DIRANDRO that led 
to the seizure of 314 kg of a mixture of half 
cocaine-base/half cocaine HCl, along with several automatic 
weapons, approximately one-hour by river from Iquitos in the 
Loreto region.  The cocaine was destined for transshipment 
from the Amazonian River port of Iquitos. 
 
--------------------------------- 
MONEY LAUNDERING AGENDA ADVANCES 
--------------------------------- 
10. (U)  NAS staff held a series of meetings with 
prosecutors, police, and representatives from the GOP's 
Financial Intelligence Unit and other GOP institutions to 
initiate a dialog towards developing a work agenda for the 
coming 12 months.  One pressing need identified was the lack 
of a diagnostic of money laundering issues, including 
legislative and operational roadblocks to successful 
prosecutions and an effective assets-forfeiture regime.  NAS 
and our collaborators are working to develop this diagnostic 
report and a set of action plans to address the issues it 
identifies. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ----------- 
ACHIEVABLE GOALS SET FOR COMMUNITY ANTI-DRUG COALITIONS 
--------------------------------------------- ----------- 
11. (U)  This month marks the beginning of the second year 
for the six community anti-drug coalitions (CAC) in Lima. 
One focus for the coming year will be on expanding the area 
served--in some cases quadrupling the area.  The NGOs guiding 
the coalitions will aim to strengthen the self-governing 
aspect of the coalitions and secure official recognition of 
the CACs by the municipalities.  The CAC Governing Council 
(members of the community) will work on proposals requesting 
funds from the municipality and other institutions to support 
coalition activities (one CAC has already achieved this 
goal). 
 
12. (U)  NAS will be awarding a grant to do a baseline study 
of community attitudes toward drugs that will be used to 
evaluate the impact of the CACs in the future.  The baseline 
indicators will be based on the Strategic Prevention 
Framework of the USG's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention 
(CSAP), and the study's methodology will allow comparison 
with OAS/CICAD's regional drug abuse surveys.  In addition, 
NAS will launch a social-marketing campaign to reach 
Peruvians at the community level to educate them about the 
negative and wide-ranging effects to their society by 
narcotrafficking and coca cultivation.
