Joint Operation Rum Punch bites into Caribbean drug flow - International Herald Tribune: "SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic: A quadrupling of incoming suspected drug flights in the past two years has forced Haiti and the Dominican Republic to face up to the fact that the island they share is a major transshipment point for cocaine bound to U.S. and European consumers.
An estimated 94 tons of cocaine was sent from Venezuela over the Caribbean to the island in the six months ending in March of this year, when U.S., Dominican and Haitian forces launched 'Operation Rum Punch' to counter the surge. Officials say it has already scared off some airborne smugglers."
