DEA’s
Middle East Section is a very large and complex region, with over
40 very
diverse
countries that are covered by relatively
few DEA offices.
The region provides the majority of opium for the heroin consuming
world. As such the primary function of these DEA offices is to
encourage both bilateral and multilateral cooperation and pursue
a regional approach to combating opiates and other regional drug
threats. DEA offices work closely with regional and other international
counterparts to identify and target major traffickers, to include
their organizations, their assets, and their links to terrorism,
and obtain the strategic and tactical intelligence necessary to
be successful. DEA offices in the region also focus on the flow
of precursor chemicals used for heroin and synthetic drug production
in the region. Special Agents identify and seize clandestine laboratories
that produce heroin, MDMA, and amphetamines.
Additionally, personnel from each of these offices conduct regular
liaison visits to countries in their area of responsibility where
DEA does not maintain a constant presence to enhance opportunities
for cooperation and intelligence sharing.
