Bogota - The Colombia army
arrested 8 suspects and seized 1.7 tons of cocaine
in the central-east province of Meta, a military
report said Friday.
The drugs, worth about 42 million U.S. dollars on
the black market, were found in a group of trucks
which were stopped by the soldiers near Gaitan port.
The report said a group alias "Cuchillo" were behind
the drug-trafficking.
Some weapons and communication devices were also
confiscated during the operation.
Colombia is the largest producer and second exporter
of cocaine in the world. Drug-traffickers in
Colombia often use illegal sea routes to export
drugs to Central American countries and the United
States. |
