Cambodian special forces are going to parachute into battle against illegal loggers as part of government plans to stamp out the rampant cutting of timber, the country's armed forces commander said. "We'll send our commandos in by helicopter and if we see illegal logging, they'll jump down by parachute to crack down," General Ke Kim Yan told Reuters. Ke Kim Yan, who is overseeing the drive against illegal logging said, he was confident of success as the military had overcome bigger challenges in the past.
