Paul Rosolie describes alleged jungle airstrip tactic he says traffickers use to evade detection

What was said

""They wait for that bend in the river. They cut the trees back into an airirst strip. And so they get they get a long bend in the river and then a turn as they cut an air strip back. So they lower the plane, fly right over the river and fly under the jungle.""

Paul Rosolie says narcotics traffickers have moved into more remote parts of the Peruvian Amazon near where his group operates. He describes a method he says traffickers use in which a river bend serves as an approach path and trees are cut back to create an airstrip extending into the forest, allowing planes to descend low and land out of typical aerial view. Rosolie says the traffickers are more dangerous than local loggers and may kill people who threaten their operations.
