Colombian Police:
FARC Responsible For
Most U.S. Cocaine
Most of the cocaine that
enters the United States
is manufactured by FARC,
Alvaro Caro, head of
Colombia's drug
enforcement police, said
Monday.
"The southern guerillas
send their cocaine via
the Pacific and the
northern ones via the
Atlantic, but all are
equally committed to
growing illegal crops
and harvesting them for
export," he said.
FARC, or the
Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia, is
the country's largest
rebel group.
Caro said the guerillas
were in direct contact
with Mexico's Sinaloa
and Tijuana cartels
which ship the cocaine
to the U.S., Europe and
Japan.
On March 1, Colombian
troops launched a
bombing raid on a FARC
camp in the Ecuadoran
territory, killing over
20 guerillas, including
the organization's
second-in-command, Edgar
Devia. |
