Anti-drug police nab two Cambodian officials for methamphetamine.

Cambodian authorities have arrested two military generals linked to a “major” drug trafficking ring, police said Tuesday, as the country’s anti-narcotics task force battles internal corruption and increased trade in stimulants across the Mekong region.

National police spokesman Gen. Kirth Chantharith said Lay Virak and Khun Rouen, both active duty two-star generals who also work as advisors within the defense ministry, were detained Monday while exchanging nearly 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of methamphetamine, a powerful stimulant.
