BOLIVIA-PERU-BRAZIL: 'Triple Border' gang war triggers joint response
The escalation of fighting between rival drug gangs in the area where
Bolivia meets Peru and Brazil has led the governments of the three countries to
start planning joint security efforts there. In Cobija, capital of the Bolivian
department of Pando, 10 people have been killed since the beginning of this
year, a sharp increase on the 15 known to have killed in the whole of
2007.
